Legacy Leaders Radio with Karon Cook and John Barrow Talk About Redemption

00:00 /

Legacy Leaders Radio was all about redemption today, with guest host Karon Cook and John Barrow of Better Way Ministries. Better Way Ministries is a place of refuge for men with drug and alcohol addictions and other life controlling issues.

John Barrow spoke about his journey from a troubled youth to a blessed life helping young people become productive citizens. In his book, appropriately named A Better Way, John tells his story.

John says that one of the loneliest, most painful places a man can find himself is in a cold and dark prison cell. Young boys dream of growing up to be policemen, firemen, cowboys—anything but convicts or inmates. But, because some of us could not stay within the boundaries, we found ourselves in too deep.
