Steve Espamer shares his incredible testimony of grace that magnifies God’s ability to reach, restore and redeem.

Espamer shares of his time in the ’60s when, after spending time in jail for the second time, he came home. “Three of my friends that I used to do drugs with walked up to me and said, ‘Hey, Stevie, how you doing? We’re saved. And we found Jesus. We’re saved,'” he said.
