Do Better: Story of Transformation

This powerful testimony takes us on a journey from darkness to light, reminding us that transformation is never easy but always worth it. We hear a story of someone who went from addiction and incarceration to freedom and purpose—not through their own strength, but through surrendering to God's plan. The message emphasizes that real change requires daily discipline, accountability, and community. We're reminded of Joseph's story, how even in prison God gave him favor, and how our darkest places can become the very spaces where God meets us most powerfully. The key scriptures woven throughout—Romans 8:28, Jeremiah 29:11, and Lamentations 3:40—anchor us in the truth that God works all things together for good when we're called according to His purpose. This isn't just a story about overcoming addiction; it's about the relentless love of God that pursues us, plants seeds through faithful grandparents, and waits patiently for us to examine our ways and turn back to Him. The most compelling insight is this: whether we choose the hard road with God or without Him, life will be difficult—but with God, that difficulty leads to peace, joy, and purpose. We're challenged to lean into the tension, to do the right thing even when it's uncomfortable, and to remember that God is not finished with us yet.
