From hopeless to hope filled.

From empty to overflowing

From dead to alive.




Welcome to Brought Back to Life. Season 3 starts on November 9th. We have 8 new stories. 8 new incredible lives touched by a God of transformation.

In the book of Acts (Acts 2:25-28) in the Bible, we read this from King David:

‘I see that the LORD is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me. 26 No wonder my heart is glad, and my tongue shouts his praises! My body rests in hope. 27 For you will not leave my soul among the dead[e] or allow your Holy One to rot in the grave. 28 You have shown me the way of life, and you will fill me with the joy of your presence.

Are you ready to see the way to life?
