Addicted, Alone, and Angry - Until One Prayer Changed Everything
with Curtis
About This Episode
Curtis found drugs at 14 after growing up in an abusive home where yelling and violence were normal. Marijuana. Alcohol. Anything to take the edge off the anger and loneliness. He failed out of school and ended up in rehab during his senior year. A woman in treatment wouldn't quit on him. He cussed at her. Locked her out of his room. She didn't flinch. August 17, 1997 he walked into an Assemblies of God church in Pittsburgh and had a real encounter with the presence of God.
