Our hope is in how well America does? We know where this is headed. But you know what it's really about? The heart, and I'm just trying to do my part, one heart at a time.

The hosts emphasize the importance of recognizing both the good and bad in people, caution against misleading labels, and explore how hope and trust can pave the way to recovery. Through heartfelt discussions, they reveal the dangers of physical dependence on drugs and offer a message of transformation through faith. As Dr.
