121: Overcoming Drug Addiction by Faith

Overview

Burton Barr Jr.'s battle with drug addiction began at age 20 when friends forced heroin into his veins, triggering a 22-year struggle. During his lowest point, his father approached him not with harsh words or judgment, but with compassion. He shared a verse from Psalms 121, urging Burton to read it daily before leaving home. This simple act sparked a transformative journey, guiding Barr through the shadows of heroin, cocaine, crack, alcohol, cigarettes, and sex. By embracing the powerful message of the Psalm, he ultimately found the strength to overcome his demons and reclaim his life.
