Tell Me About A Man

Meth, Abuse, & A Lost Daughter: Barb's Story


Listen Later

As Barb's mom continued to speak God's promises over her, Barb's rebellious spirit grew stronger. Despite her knowledge that she could always trust in God, her defiance led her down a path of choices that some believed she could never recover from.

Pregnant at 16 and a mom by 17, she was a high school drop out in an abusive relationship, smoking weed, and eventually in jail by the age of 19. Even when she attempted to "do the right thing” Barb seemed to be constantly stumbling. Her journey took her through prerequisite classes for nursing school, only to face rejection, and later expulsion from Respiratory Therapist school.   

Frustrated and discouraged, Barb's rebellious personality drove her deeper into the clutches of addiction, particularly to her “drug of choice” meth. Quickly, Barb ended up in a downward spiral of increased IV drug use, more drug-related charges, and more time spent behind bars.

After a 13-year addiction, Barb found herself under a highway bridge in an encounter with a man that would alter the course of her destiny forever.

Listen in to this episode and witness the awe-inspiring journey of one woman's redemption and transformation through one man’s relentless pursuit of her.
