I wasn’t sure how people would be towards me, as an alcoholic, as someone so far from God, if they would welcome me or not. I felt like if you’re a Christian, you had to live this perfect lifestyle, and I was far from that. But, I found out there were people just like me, people who had the same problems. Had more problems, had less problems.

It was really different than what we were used to. The minute we walked in, though, we knew. They gave us a welcome, brought our children into Kidzone where we knew they’d be safe. Everything was so relatable, and we were going through a tough time. I remember thinking, “wow.” Every time we went, the pastor was just talking to me. We’ve connected so much more as a family.
