Whether you’re a weary traveler on life’s rugged path or a seeker of hope, this episode is for you.”🌟 Episode Highlights:“The Crossroads of Brokenness”:Imagine standing at a crossroads—the junction of despair and possibility. Our stories intersect here, where addiction, abuse, and incarceration have left their scars. But fear not! For at this very crossroads, grace awaits. The same grace that transformed Saul into Paul, the persecutor into the apostle. (Acts 9:1-19)“The Prodigal’s Return”:We’ve all wandered far from home, squandering our inheritance. But like the prodigal son, we can return to the Father’s embrace. Our church in Fort Worth, Texas, stands as an open door—a sanctuary for the weary, the broken, and the lost. Come as you are; His arms are wide open. (Luke 15:11-32)“From Chains to Freedom”:Chains of addiction, guilt, and shame bind us. Yet, the cross of Christ shattered those chains. Our church community knows this freedom intimately. We’ve seen lives transformed, addictions broken, and hearts made whole. Join us; let’s walk this journey together. (Galatians 5:1)“The Healing Balm of Community”:In our fellowship, ex-offenders find mentors, addicts find accountability, and the wounded find family. We’re not perfect, but we’re authentic. Our scars tell stories of redemption, and our love knows no bounds. Come, sit with us; let’s share our scars and heal together. (1 Thessalonians 5:11)🔥 “Why should you tune in and  why should you visit our church? Because here, you won't just hear a sermon, you'll see a sermon; Because here, you’ll find a family. We’re not just a building; we’re building a testimony—a mosaic of grace. Come witness the power found in transformation, the warmth of acceptance, and the joy of second chances. Whether you’re a skeptic, a believer, a victim or a victor, there’s a seat for you at our table. Let’s journey from brokenness to beauty together.”🙏 Closing Prayer: “Heavenly Father, guide our steps toward the crossroads of redemption. May ‘Johnny Sac Gems’ be a beacon of hope, drawing hearts to You. In Jesus’ name, amen.”📢 Join Us: If you are in the Fort Worth area please come and visit📍 Location:  2424 Chestnut Avenue, Fort Worth TX 76164.⏰ Service Times: Sundays at 10:00 AM The Women’s CenterVOFW City Church (Facebook):Address: 2424 Chestnut Ave., Fort Worth, TX 76164Contact: (214) 866-5934Email: stelladmin@vofwcchurch.com🌐 Website: VOFW City ChurchDescription: Victory Outreach is an international, church-oriented Christian ministry called to transform lives.
