HOW TO OVERCOME DRUG ADDICTION with Guest Jordan Wilson

In this Episode of DEFENDING THE FAITH, Dr. Frank Harber interviews guest Jordan Wilson on the subject of HOW TO OVERCOME DRUG ADDICTION.

 

Jordan Wilson was a great kid from a great home. While experiencing the pain of a knee injury, Jordan started abusing pain pills, sometimes as many as twenty pills a day. He began dealing drugs and then began doing meth.

 

He got caught in the vortex of drug addiction. Yes, this can happen to good kids from normal homes. 

 

Jordan eventually got in serious trouble and went to jail. His addiction led to hopelessness and then homelessness. He eventually gave up hope of ever overcoming his addition. He was in and out of jail and rehab from 2012 thru 2016. He was even kicked out of the Friends of Sinners program. He was going to die before 30 years of age.  

 

But he overcame drugs. Not only did he beat drugs but he now works at the very drug rehabilitation program that he got kicked out of…3 times! 

 

Jordan wrote his story in the book “Jesus > Drugs” to give people hope and to let them know that through Jesus Christ, they can be healed and recover from addiction. 

 

Jordan Wilson is the Development Director at Friends of Sinners, a Christ-centered residential substance recovery program focusing on the restoration and reconciliation of men and women to Christ through biblical truths, accountability, and life skills.

 

He is married to Kayley and they have a three-year-old son Knox and one-year-old daughter Lemon. He is also the Youth Director at His Church in Henderson.
