Ransom Experience

Matt Armbruster

Ransom Experience will bring you Raw and Real stories of everyday people. Who have gone through Ransom Reprogram or have volunteered with Ransom Ministries over the years We will talk with men and women that share their stories of Struggles of incarceration, trauma, abuse, homelessness and addiction which has propelled them to perseverance, restoration, and joy. They will share their lives with the listeners in order for others to understand the obstacles that they have overcome to get them where they are now. We will also hear from people who have had their lives changed from building relationships and serving those who many times are forgotten in our society. Our hope is that people will see that these individuals are still people - normal, everyday people, who just need someone to listen and to care.
