Lisa Bright experienced one of the absolute worst things any person could ever experience: the death of her child. In an immense act of strength and dependence on God, she has turned that tragedy into something good. The Will Bright foundation is a non-profit focused on helping men who have been addicted to drugs come clean and become productive members of society. Many of these sorts of programs exist with mixed success. Lisa's organization WORKS. She came on the podcast to tell us her story of redemption and faith in Jesus Christ.
