Sponsored by: America's Thrift Stores
Produced by: Home of Grace

In part one of a two-part episode, we sit down with Marc Calvert, a 46-year-old pastor of The Church of Turning Points in Wiggins, MS. Marc opens his heart about his struggles with drug addiction that began in his teenage years and led to multiple incarcerations. He candidly discusses his battle with methamphetamine and his spirals through addiction, incarceration, and toxic relationships.

Marc offers a raw and unfiltered account of hitting rock bottom and how a life-altering moment in a bush on his fortieth birthday became the turning point towards his recovery. He emphasizes the importance of finding resources and support to rebuild his life, one step at a time, which eventually led him to discover faith and begin his journey with Christ.

Tune in to hear how Marc overcame the challenges of broken family relationships, missed opportunities, and a hardened heart, ultimately finding redemption and a calling to serve others in recovery.

Tune in next week for part two!
