I often like to say the enemy looks for cracks in our lives, small weaknesses or temptations that he can slip into to open us up to sin and temptation. It can become a full on spiritual war for your life, and often times, you don't know how you will find deliverance from the darkness. That is why I am so blessed to have my son, Steven H. Craft, Jr., as today's guest.
Steven shares the story of his battle in darkness with exposure to pornography. Over many years, he struggled with these spirits of lust and feelings of inadequacy. He began to turn to alcohol and drugs as a source of "happiness", only to find the feelings of anxiety grow. However, as he explains in this episode, his story does not end in the darkness, but speaks to rebirth and deliverance through the power of Jesus.

Steven received his B.S. degree from Mississippi State University. Steven attributes his success in life to Jesus. Steven loves God with a passion and is currently pursuing all that the Lord has for him to do. Life is GOOD! "The best is yet to come."
"I've formed many exclusive partnerships across the board in both the P&C and Life & Health markets to offer my clientele the best carriers, products and services available in the insurance industry. This, coupled with faith and the core Christian values of the company, is what makes Lucleon Insurance the success that it is and continues to be. Many people today work by methods, algorithms, etc. I believe in working by principles, hard work and all in faith." -Steven H. Craft, Jr.
