They gave him chains instead of a name ... a man so broken that his own family and neighbours gave up and left him among the dead.
This is the true story of the Gerasene demoniac in Mark 5, and what happened when Jesus refused to just manage him.
If your life, or someone you love, feels chained by habits or wreckage that keep breaking loose no matter what you try, this story says there is a rescue that actually works.
Not another chain.
A rescue.
In person.
