Today's guest Melissa Huray is living proof that anyone can break free from addiction and go from bondage to blessed. Born into an alcoholic home, Melissa found her escape from pain through alcohol. Drinking would steal 15 good years of her life, but after surrendering to Christ, her whole life changed. She found total freedom and she'll share today how you and your kids can too.
