Shaw, CJ McMurry, and Jim Quigley, the episode takes you on a journey through Dan's life - from the highs and lows of addiction to the transformative power of faith.
Dan's story begins in the 60s, a time filled with experimentation and the allure of substances. His early marriage at 19 only added to the complexity as his substance abuse issues began to surface. The struggle continued for years, leading him through various secular rehabs and 12-step programs, but it was his renewed faith in Jesus Christ that eventually set him on the path to true recovery.
Dan candidly shares how his life spiralled out of control, affecting his family and leading to a devastating crack addiction. Yet, it was through Christian support groups like Addictions Victorious that he found his way back. He speaks about the pivotal moment in a Christian program in New Jersey where God began to rebuild his life. Today, Dan dedicates himself to deepening his relationship with God and helping others find the same strength and freedom in Christ.
This episode is a testament to the incredible power of faith and community in overcoming addiction. Whether you're struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is, Dan's story offers hope and inspiration. Tune in to hear how a life once lost can be transformed through unwavering faith and divine intervention.
