I stopped believing in forgiveness and redemption and quite possibly God after my marriage to my addict spouse fell apart and I had to literally glue my children and myself back together. It’s been 8 years. I stumbled across your podcast yesterday after trying to get my 21 year old to see her father for the first time In 4 years. I have seen him truly living in recovery for the first time in the last few months, doing hard work. She’s not buying it, and quite frankly, I can not blame her. She has been the child who screamed in his face and he left her over and over. Lenny’s story has touched a part of me that I thought was long dead and buried. There is no hope at returning everything back to shiny and new. But I can see maybe a glimmer at returning things to better? We can not give her back her childhood or her happy. I try for normalization at least. This story has helped. I sent it to her father, in hopes that it helps him understand a little better as well. Thank you.
You will never be an “evil PR machine” since we all ( those who know your work ) want to know what your are working on, because we know it will be great!
Gracie Allen is credited with this quote, and the UCC have used it for many years.
It goes with the message that “God is still speaking.”

" an evil PR machine that won’t shut up"? YOU? Never in a million years. Every word from you is a treasure, Nadia.
