About this listen
Benny shares his powerful journey from addiction to faith and service. He describes growing up in a good home but falling into substance abuse at a young age through skateboarding and partying. After years of escalating drug and alcohol use, a series of wake-up calls—including a terrifying panic attack, a hospital visit, and testing positive for meth—led him to seek help. A key turning point was forming a mentorship with a family friend named Phil, who introduced Benny to personal development and critical thinking. Despite several relapses, including one after six months of sobriety at age 21, Benny continued his inner work. A torn ACL in 2021 became another pivotal moment in his journey. Over time, Benny realized the missing piece in his self-improvement was a deeper connection with God. In 2023, he committed fully to sobriety on September 18 and became actively involved in his church, including joining the worship team and mentoring youth. Now, Benny aims to be a living example of transformation and faith, helping others avoid the path he once walked.
