On this episode, Pastor Pizarro and Jake Wolf discuss the topic of deliverance and recovery.

In our very first episode, we talk about **Saved & Sober—what is it, and why does it matter?** We get into recovery, deliverance, addiction, the importance of community, and what it really means to live a life that is both saved and sober. This is where the conversation begins. **Community. Connection. Christ.**
