Doug reflects on his mom’s crusade to control his intake of secular entertainment and drag him along in the door to door ministry before catching up with comedian, actor, and reluctant TikTok star Evan Williams.

After suffering multiple devastating losses at a young age, Evan’s teenage addiction comes as no surprise. But when weekday benders lead to a half dozen car wrecks and close calls with the law, the path to sobriety was a matter of life and death. Despite his gratitude for recovery and all the rewards that come with it, Evan admits the JW mission statement is slightly tempting.
