A shorter recording that reflects on episodes 31-33. The stories hold similarities and the messages have themes that are worth being highlighted. There is added scripture for deeper understanding. Addiction, or anything that we yearn for, is unable to meet our deepest needs. The "threads" that run through three interviews speak into that. "What are you thirsty for" is drawing you to be aware of what you might be settling for that is less than God's best for you, what you may be using to replace God as the rightful King of your life, and who is the true source of all joy, hope, and peace - despite your circumstances.

Three DUIs, six months in jail, and a night in a holding cell when she was ready to give up. Then 23-year-old Maddy heard God say, "I need you to fight this fight." She shares how she traded drugs and alcohol for a relationship with Jesus, what nine months at Adult & Teen Challenge taught her, and why losing everything was how she gained everything. If you feel stuck in your past, this episode is for you.
