This week, Debi is joined by Gabriel and Kellee Napoleon.

Gabriel and Kellee share the story of their own road to redemption. They talk about meeting in addiction and living in that addiction for years.

After testing positive for drugs following the delivery of their third child, their lives suddenly hit a crossroads. Kellee and Gabriel talk about how ending up at the Phoenix Dream Center changed the trajectory of their entire family's lives for good.

Debi, Gabriel and Kellee also talk about how governmental systems in many ways set them up to fail. They succeeded because they were determined to follow God and to get their kids back and they had strong support from family and from the body of Christ. Through all of this God worked a miracle in their lives.

This week, Debi is joined by Bruce and Kim Ketola from Kairos Prison Ministries

Bruce and Kim talk about the work of Kairos Prison Ministries and how they got involved.

Debi, Bruce and Kim discuss the importance of outreach to those who are incarcerated and to their loved ones. The Kairos retreat model shares the love of Christ with male and female prisoners and helps develop them to be leaders both in and out of prison. Kairos has a proven track record of making prison atmospheres calmer, with less internal crime among prisoners. It also has been shown to reduce recidivism and stop the cycles of crime that cause individuals to be repeat offenders and pass that cycle on to their children.
