Waking Up In America


From Brokenness to Serving the Homeless (with Brett Swayn)

March 28, 2016

Brett Swayn had been homeless, broken ‘by his brokenness,’ and had himself felt utter desolation. He knows what a miracle feels like. In this episode we talk about how his turning point shifted him from chasing a dream to satisfy the person he thought he was, and into a much more purposeful life of helping others and providing healing in their lives.
