Dustin and Leigh Ann Long join Tom and Lana Lyman in the studio to share a story that’s messy, honest, and full of redemption. From addiction, jail, shame, and “starting over,” to single parenting, restored family bonds, and a new marriage built on healing, this episode is a raw look at what God can rebuild when life breaks apart.
You’ll also hear the heart behind High Hope Ministries, their “Gather & Grow” weekends, and why purpose matters after recovery. They talk about tough love, community, counseling, and the danger of isolation, plus the moment when surrender became the turning point instead of the end.
If God can take the broken pieces, fill the cracks, and turn pain into purpose, what might He be ready to bring you through next?
