On this podcast episode I sit down and talk to Pastor John LaTorre. John grew up with his mother and family in a small town in the state of Connecticut. At the age of seven he meets his father and begins to spend the summers with him out in Queens, New York. As a young man he longs to connect with his father and yearns to learn what it means to be a man. At the age of 11 he begins to smoke weed with his dad. This opens the door to a life of drug addiction and alcoholism. As a teenager he begins to deal drugs in order to fund his drug addiction. Things get really bad when he decides to rob a partner of his and has to go on the run. He gets deeper and deeper into darkness and by now he is a full blown heroin addict. His family encourage & push him to connect with an organization called "Teen Challenge." At this point in his life he finds himself miserable, suicidal, lost and with no hope in life. Tune in to hear what happens in this man's life when he hears God's voice calling out to him, "Why don't you give Me a chance? I can heal you."
