Saved from the Spiral of Addiction:: Candace Jones' Story :: [Episode 325]

"There is a cure for addiciton, and His name is Jesus."- Storyteller, Candace Jones

According to the 2023 United States National Survey on Drug Use and Health over 48 million Americans battled a substance use disorder over the past year, making it abundantly clear- addiction does not discriminate. Today on the podcast, Candace Jones, who spoke at our Mountain Brook community's live gathering, shares her story of struggling with drugs and alcohol and how she quickly spiraled into the evil and dark world of selling drugs. Through her candidness, Candace clearly reminds us of the importance of having a relationship with Jesus, relying on Him rather than yourself, and the imperative role community plays when you are battling the lies of the enemy.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:

-Addiciton can affect anyone-it does not care where you are from or what type of family you grew up in- and it can quickly take over your life.

-God is seeking after a relationship with you, not religion and rules.

- When God restores, He can do immeasurably more than you can ask or imagine. (Ephesians 3:20)
