In this compelling episode of the Jesus Loves Addicts podcast, meet Dustin Long—a former addict who has turned his life around through faith. Raised in Southern Mississippi, Dustin fell into a 20-year whirlwind of substance abuse, which began in his early teens with marijuana and huffing gas, eventually leading to harder drugs like methamphetamine and heroin.
Faced with family traumas and the burden of being an absent father, Dustin reveals his darkest moments and how a heartfelt plea from a friend's mother set him on a path to recovery. His spiritual awakening happened when he cried out to God on the railway tracks, marking a turning point that led him to seek help. Today, Dustin is a worship leader and associate pastor, committed to spreading a message of hope and redemption.
Listen as Dustin shares insights into the stigma of addiction and the power of Christ's love to transform flawed lives. This episode is a powerful testament that no matter the depth of one's struggles, recovery and renewal are within reach.
