Stephen Bennett's Journey: From Addiction to Faith and Transformation

I refuse to have people tell me that I was born gay. Jesus is still in the business of changing lives.
Ever wondered if true transformation is possible? In this episode of '99Relapses', Christian Recovery Coach and Counselor James Egidio sits down with Stephen Bennett, who shares his remarkable story of leaving behind a life filled with drugs, alcohol, and the LGBTQ lifestyle. From 1981 to 1992, Stephen's life was a whirlwind of addiction and confusion.
Fast forward 31 years, and he's now a devoted husband and father of two, committed to Jesus Christ and leading a ministry that's been touching lives for over two decades. Stephen's journey is a testament to the power of faith, forgiveness, and resilience. He opens up about his battles with addiction, the pivotal moments that led him to embrace Christianity, and the role that prayer and community support played in his recovery.
Stephen also delves into the challenges of running a Christian ministry and the media's influence on the LGBTQ community. This episode isn't just about overcoming addiction; it's about finding a purpose through faith and spreading hope to others. If you're looking for an inspiring story that underscores the transformative power of faith, this episode is a must-listen.
