Rock bottom isn't just a destination—it's a decision point. In this vulnerable and powerful message from "The Prodigal" series, Pastor shares his personal journey from fraternity life to faith transformation, revealing how one bad decision can snowball into a complete mess. From garage projects gone wrong to NASA's $327 million mistake, this teaching will help you understand that realization without return keeps you stuck—but there's hope for anyone ready to take the journey home. Whether you're struggling with marriage, finances, career, or faith—this message is packed with honesty, hope, and a clear roadmap out. God's not just offering you His stuff. He's offering you Himself. Scripture Reference: Luke 15:14-19 Big Idea: Rock bottom can be the pit you stay in or the platform God launches you from.
