Episode 22: From Meth to the Book of Mormon | Charlie’s Story of Redemption

December 14, 2025

Episode 22 is a very special conversation with my friend Charlie. Charlie is a recovering meth addict. For over 15 years, his life was ruled by meth—no sleep, nonstop work, chaos, fear, and misery. God wasn’t part of the picture yet, and the idea of living sober or running on faith instead of chemicals felt impossible. Then Charlie walked into SOAR. Today, he’s over 150 days sober, and his life looks completely different. In this episode, we talk about his transformation—how he found God, how he came to know Jesus Christ, and how discovering The Book of Mormon changed his life. We share our testimonies and talk openly about why we both love the Book of Mormon and how it played a huge role in our own sobriety journeys. We dive into the repentance process, the 12 Steps, relationships, and what it really means to replace drugs with God—to stop running on fear and start running on faith. Charlie shares what life is like on the other side of addiction, and why he would never go back. This is an honest, raw, and hope-filled conversation about redemption, recovery, and the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ to completely transform a life.
