Matt and Melodie Webber began their relationship as "friends with benefits."

But that "care-free" existence ended with Melodie's unwanted pregnancy, and the birth of their first child, Makayla.

Matt was torn apart by the push and pull of fatherhood and weekend drug-bingeing. Meanwhile, Melodie lived with a single-mother's hopelessness that she would never experience the joy, security and love every woman craves.

In this video, the Webbers share how Jesus met them at rock bottom and knitted their family together with the pure love that can only come from God.

UPDATE: Since the story was filmed, Matt took a position on staff at NewSpring Greenville in 2012, and Melodie found freedom from an eating disorder.
