Description
Rock bottom isn't just a destination—it's a decision point. In this vulnerable and powerful message from "The Prodigal" series, Pastor shares his personal journey from fraternity life to faith transformation, revealing how one bad decision can snowball into a complete mess.

Whether you're struggling with marriage, finances, career, or faith—this message is packed with honesty, hope, and a clear roadmap out. God's not just offering you His stuff. He's offering you Himself.
