Summary

I grew up in a pastor’s home yet drifted into pills that soon owned me. Opioids stole my characterβ€”lies, forged scripts, jail. My family’s prayers never quit, but rehabs failed until New Year’s Eve in Gooding, Idaho. God said, β€œGo and die, or stay and live for Me.” I surrendered, He broke the chains, restored my marriage, and called me to preach. Now I share hope with every addict who thinks they’re beyond grace.
