In this episode we have the honor of speaking with Sidney Smith.  After 27 years of addiction, crime, homelessness, eating out of garbage dumpsters, prison, and 10 different rehabilitation centers, one encounter with Christ changed everything. Sidney is a good friend, a powerful speaker and an extremely talented pianist and singer. He is as authentic as they come, and we hope you'll be inspired and reminded of the goodness and power of God's love and forgiveness  as you listen to him share.
