After spending a decade and a half in the throes of a drug and alcohol addiction, Ben Fuller finally took a step toward his dream of making it in Nashville as a country musician. But it was the chance invitation to church that truly turned his life around. Today he’s six years sober, fresh off the release of his fourth studio album, and doing collaborations with superstars like Carrie Underwood. This week, Ben sits down with Nate Dewberry and opens up about how his life took a wrong turn, what made things right again — and perhaps most importantly, how he stays committed and accountable to God with the help of his bandmates.
