🗣️ "They're still your parents. I'm not going to cuss them out, I'm not going to cut them out of my life, even though that would be so easy. That's what the world says: if they screw you over, screw them over too, and actually do it worse because that's what they deserve. Do my parents deserve some crap? Probably. But don't we all?” - Jessica Mitchell [20:06]

✝️ Sometimes for God to get your attention, He has to allow you to go through really difficult things that will ultimately lead to a relationship with Him.
In this episode of "I Reckon That's the Truth," April shares her shocking, and extremely vulnerable testimony the Lord has given her. She goes into detail about how she was raised and how that affected her, her sin struggles, and a wild story that was the final straw to lead her to Christ. Again we see another example of God meeting us at our lowest points in life because He knows that's when we are most susceptible towards Him. Another life was received through Christ and Christ alone! Praise the Lord! We are so grateful she was willing to share!
 
🎙️ Featured Guest: April Mendoza was recently saved late last year, but her lack of experience as a Christian did not stop her from telling her story.
