## Resource

Bruce Hatcher was once addicted to drugs and alcohol and did not think he had any hope of a different life. At one point he wanted to end his life as he saw no other way to escape. He shares his real life story of overcoming those addictions and how he found Jesus and now helps others do the same. If you or someone you care about is struggling, listen to his story and reach out to him to start a conversation. Bruce welcomes the conversation and is willing to help you overcome too.

Mentoring is transformative for all ages from teens to young adults to moms to midlife to senior adults. From the frustrated teen to the wandering young adult to the overwhelmed midlife mom to the anxious adult ...mindset mentoring is the best place to start. Our mindset matters because it is where our actions start. It is how we make the changes we want to make in all areas of our life! Imagine having a mindset coach to guide you through real life stuff…the relationships, the emotions, the mindset, the transitions, the past trauma….as you step into all God has for you.
