All Conversions are Possible with God with Caleb Templeton

Caleb Templeton was not walking the straight and narrow.

Smoking when he was young was just the beginning. By adolescence, Caleb was drinking and using drugs.

While he had a job mowing lawns, Caleb realized he could make a lot more money dealing drugs. So he did.

Until “his boy” set him up to be jumped. The attack could have ended Caleb’s life.

This week’s “mini retreat in a podcast” explores how God showed up for Caleb through a truck driver, a friend, and his future mother-in-law.

Caleb’s life was completely turned around and his heart converted by the time he married “the most beautiful girl he had ever seen.”

Totally Dependent on God with Frank of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA)

Five-year-old Frank sat on the steps of his parents' home and couldn't wait to drink like the adults he was watching. 

From 16 to 60 alcohol consumed Frank's life--it was an obsession of his mind. Frank would wake up each morning recovering from the night before, eat mid-day and spend the afternoons functioning until he could finally be drinking again.

At sixty Frank found himself hospitalized when he was visiting Memphis, TN. The doctors were concerned he may have a heart problem and required he drive back to Nashville, TN in an ambulance. 

Frank's wife trailed the ambulance for three hours of his journey back to Nashville--Frank recounts how the look in her eyes moved from contempt to pity. He couldn't take the look of pity and it broke open his heart.
