How Faith and Community Transform Lives
In the quiet moments of reflection, have you considered the power of a single song, a simple message of hope, or the comforting presence of God?
Anthony’s story offers a powerful perspective on these questions, and we are grateful he shared it with us, so we can share it with you.
Recently experiencing his newfound freedom, Anthony wanted you – his faith community – to know:
“I just spent eighteen years in prison, and I’ve only been out for three months. God has always been there through all those difficult times. And if it wasn’t for your radio station, if it wasn’t for God, on days when I just wanted to quit and give up. So many nights, when I just laid awake, I would pray for God to take me away. And then I would hear a song on the radio. And it would give me just enough strength to get through the next day.”
Anthony’s story is more than enduring hardship; it’s also about finding light in the darkest of places, a message that resonates deeply with the essence of our faith.
Hebrews 13:5 reminds us, “I will never leave you nor forsake you” (ESV), a promise that Anthony felt through the comforting presence of God and the ministry of Family Life Radio during his most challenging times.
