080: Barry Martin: Finding an Answer to a Prayer on a Basketball Court


Listen Later

Feeling lonely and depressed, 17-year-old Barry Martin prayed for help.  And literally, within a couple of minutes, he found a sign.  You see, Barry grew up having a tough childhood--he had an abusive father and an addicted and neglectful mom.  At age 10 he was having to find odd jobs in the neighborhood in order to buy food and clothing for him and his little sister.  And then in high school, he was recruited by his mom's convict boyfriend to do drug runs across state lines. Having barely graduated from school, Barry found himself feeling alone and depressed. And that's when the answer to his prayer literally changed his life.
