Pastor J Troy Gray: A Story of Faith, Family, and Recovery

I love getting a call from a family member and say: thank you, you are our answered prayer. If this is an assignment that God has given me, which I do believe this is because you couldn't do what we do for the amount of time we're doing this.
Have you ever wondered how faith and family can shape one's journey through addiction and recovery? In this episode of 'Not Your Average IV User', host Max Liles sits down with Pastor J Troy Gray to uncover his unique path. Troy, who leads Zion Baptist Church and founded Another Chance Ministries, opens up about his personal experiences with addiction in his family and how it propelled him into the recovery field.
Unlike Max, who has battled substance use disorder himself, Troy's perspective comes from the heartache of watching a loved one struggle. He shares candid reflections on his initial misconceptions about addiction and the transformative power of faith in his journey. You'll hear about the incredible accomplishments of those involved in his ministry and the hard lessons learned, like the time Western Union cut him off for sending too much money to support his loved one.
This episode dives deep into the impact of addiction on families, the importance of setting healthy boundaries, and the necessity of honesty in recovery. Pastor Troy's story is a testament to turning pain into purpose and finding hope through faith. Tune in for a heartfelt conversation that challenges stereotypes and offers a beacon of hope for anyone touched by addiction.
