When Bad Goes To Worse
Former mega church pastor, Dr. Ted Roberts, founder of Pure Desire Ministries, retells his story [in the video below] on how he escaped a terrifying near-death experience while free-diving in an underwater cave. An incident that would teach him one of the greatest lessons in his life.

Today, science confirms what the Bible teaches on the strongholds of the mind, which is key in understanding how a person becomes enslaved to sin.
