John "Iron Man" Cantrell is a professional boxer and the Kansas & Missouri Heavy Weight Champion. But he's also a man with a remarkable story with many miracles. In this episode, John talks about his desire to feel acceptance in his teens after transferring high schools. He found it however, even after finding acceptance with a good circle of people, demons began surfacing in his life. Normally I would type a very detailed description about each episode. However with this episode, it's important to know that John had addiction to alcohol and drugs and even some gambling issues with his pool game. After an unsuccessful suicide attempt, John was saved by Jesus Christ. There is sooooo much to his story that it's nearly impossible to explain in this description. However, his story is fascinating. In and out of substance abuse, reckless gambling, time spent in the federal penitentiary, saved by Christ and father of a incredible son with special needs. This episode will have you on the edge of your seat to learn "what's next" in John's story.
