From a pioneer in Outdoor television to the depths of alcohol and cocaine addiction, to being deep in debt, Sandy Brady has lived it all.

Growing up in Reidsville, NC, it was a chance meeting at a gas station in Chamberlain, South Dakota that began his journey. While pumping gas, Sandy bumped into Tom Miranda, this was the late 1980's and a friendship struck up that let to Sandy becoming a camera man for Tom while everything was just beginning.

A few years of success led to Tom having to fire Sandy becasue of the addiction that was taking hold of Sandy....as he tells the story, you will be drawn into his pain, and authenticity. Sandy's journey was a long and painful one that ultimately led to him being disowned by his father, his wife leaving him, and more than seven figuers in debt. It was at that moment, he caught a glimer of hope....the hope that is only found in Jesus Christ.

This may be one of the best shows Christian Outdoors has been a part of, it certainly is one of the most captivating stories.
