Episode Description

He went to jail five times… lived the “carny” life… became a successful businessman… and then everything changed.

In Episode 8, Pastor Kelly sits down with Pastor Bill Losasso to talk about redemption, recovery, and the real-world work of helping broken people—through Celebrate Recovery, the Florida Dream Center, and ministry efforts connected to Guatemala.

This is a serious, eye-opening conversation about human trafficking awareness, prevention, aftercare, and what parents need to understand about how predators operate—online and in real life.
