In this Part 2 episode Nick shares how he grew immensely while in prison and how he connected with the Plummer Home and SafeHouse Ministries to be able to leave prison. There are countless people across the nation who remain in prison well beyond their sentence termination because they simply do not have anywhere to go due to the many rules our society places upon them, often these individuals remain for months, or even years in some cases because they are unable to find a place they can live to begin to rebuild and restart their lives. SafeHouse Ministries is a place that offers hope to many of these individuals, and Nick is one of those people who came to SafeHouse and is now on an amazing path of rebuilding and contributing great value to others along the way.

You'll learn so much by listening to Nick's story and to the wisdom he's learned along the way.

This interview with Nick was so much fun, Nick has a God given internal drive to learn and grow, and even though some foolish choices landed him in prison at Fort Leavenworth, he turned a prison sentence into an opportunity for a new beginning. Nick chose to learn and grow himself, and he continues on that path of learning and growing today. Nick's had quite a bumpy road, but God has given him some great gifts and has a great plan for Nick's path ahead. Nick's story will be told in two parts, and you'll definitely want to hear both!

She has traveled all over the world, but she could never travel far enough to separate from the pain of her past, until the Creator God wrapped his arms around her and healed her heart. She tried to escape the pain with drugs, but drugs did not work. God rescued her and raised her up as a soldier in his army who now helps to rescue others. To God be the glory, great things He hath done!
