Guest Sabrina Garth shares a raw, honest testimony of over 20 years in active addiction — from childhood trauma, early morphine exposure, sexual exploitation, and drug use to arrests, prison, an overdose, and the heartbreaking loss of her infant to SIDS. She describes the spiral of relapse, escorting, fentanyl use, and moments that forced her to confront life and faith.
The episode covers her turning points: Baker-acting and jail, a first saving faith experience, multiple rehabs, the Home of Grace program, detox and sober living, and the Freedom Ministry that taught her how to forgive, live intentionally, and build a new recovery-focused lifestyle. Sabrina also discusses family dynamics, reconciliation attempts, parenting in recovery, and how God intervened with visions, support, and purpose.
Key takeaways include practical recovery principles — choosing the “next right thing,” building new people/places/things to support sobriety, the power of community and church, daily surrender and obedience, and hope that restoration is possible. Listeners can expect candid details, spiritual reflections, and actionable encouragement for anyone facing addiction, grief, or the long road of recovery.
