In this episode we discuss "The Road to Inner Healing", by Dominick and Victoria Garcia who founded Pure Love + Health Ministries in 2016 when they launched their first Purity + Peace small group in their attic apartment. It was evident that people needed safe places to talk about taboo topics, insecurities, hurts and failures without being judged. God opened doors for Purity + Peace to grow, and DJ and Vikki knew the movement to help hurting people heal was bigger than just a small group Bible study. From there, the ministry has flourished into what it is today; a movement and a community. Connect with the Garcia Family here: https://www.purityandpeace.com
