He flushed the drugs, sat on the couch, and felt something he couldn’t explain. Years later, he still wasn’t “fixed” overnight and that’s exactly why Jared’s story matters. If you’re worn out from addiction, relapse, shame, or the quiet fear that you’ve gone too far, we made this conversation for you.

We talk with Jared about the long road from intravenous drug use, multiple felonies, and manufacturing meth to real sobriety and a new calling. He opens up about early warning signs, the first rehab experience that planted a seed, and a vivid encounter with God that changed his direction even when his behavior didn’t immediately follow. We also get into the less glamorous parts of recovery: jail, rebuilding a marriage, facing work setbacks because of a criminal record, and realizing that “fixing the mind” wasn’t enough if the heart stayed wounded.

From there, Jared shares what he’s doing now on the Mississippi Gulf Coast through Freedom Lighthouse in Waveland, Mississippi, a nonprofit sober and transitional-living program where men can come in for free and rebuild with structure, work, accountability, and faith-based support. He also describes how a church body formed in Bayside Community, one of the poorest areas in Hancock County, and how daily surrender keeps him grounded. If you’re looking for addiction recovery hope, a Christian testimony, or practical insight into what lasting transformation can look like, you’ll find it here.  HERE IS THE WEBSITE:  https://freedom-lighthouse.com/
