Conquer Addiction with Ken and Sonya Pounders


Jan 11, 2022

Being brought up in Michigan in the ‘70s, Mike Gordon found himself with an identity crisis.  Coming from a nonreligious home and no Christian training, he entered a life of rebellion and drug use.  By the time he was 24 years old, he was a full-on heroin addict and criminal.  In today’s podcast, Ken Pounders and Mike discuss what his life was like before Jesus took away his addiction and gave him a whole new way of life. The Conquer Addiction Podcast is designed to deliver real, Scriptural, and time-tested solutions for those struggling with addiction and those who are trying to help them.
 
Not having a sense of identity, Mike embarked upon the lifestyle of a peace, love, and joy hippie.  The revolving doors of methadone clinics, psychiatrists, and detoxes had convinced him that a drug addict was who he was.  His relationships destroyed and out of hope, Mike knew life wasn’t supposed to be like this.
 
When his heartbroken mom found a needle and a spoon in the bathroom, he was faced with the question, “Mike, what are you gonna do?”  That was the beginning of a changed life for Mike.
 
Listen along and hear how Jesus made a difference in the life of this hopeless addict.
