The God Who Redeems Broken Stories (Feat. Sean DeMars)

Content Notice: This episode includes candid discussion of childhood abuse, sexual abuse, suicidal ideation and an attempt, addiction, violence, and other traumatic experiences. Please listen with care.

Sean DeMars grew up surviving abuse, addiction, and gang life in Southern California and Alabama; and one desperate night in the woods, everything changed. In this episode, Sean sits down with Jamie to tell the story behind his book Rebel to Your Will: the childhood no one intervened in, the violence he got pulled into as a teenager, and the grace that met him when he had nothing left. It's an honest, sometimes hard-to-hear conversation about how God rescues people from the very bottom — and what it takes to keep walking with Him once the rescue is old news.
