Mike spent years chasing relief through alcohol, prescription opioids, methamphetamine, and anything that could numb the pain. What followed was prison, homelessness, broken relationships, and a life that seemed beyond repair.
While living on the streets of Tucson, Mike experienced moments he believes were deeply spiritual, including one encounter with a woman who told him she was the devil. Whether viewed through the lens of addiction, faith, or mental health, those experiences became part of a much larger journey toward recovery.
In this conversation, Mike opens up about childhood insecurity, prison, nearly robbing a convenience store out of desperation, rebuilding his relationship with his daughter, and discovering a peace he had spent decades searching for.
This is a story about addiction, homelessness, faith, redemption, and the belief that no one is beyond hope.

James shares his journey through foster care, childhood abuse, meth addiction, psychosis, witchcraft, and recovery. After enduring years of neglect and abuse, he turned to drugs in an attempt to numb the pain. His search for belonging eventually led him into meth addiction and occult practices before finding a path toward healing and purpose.
This episode explores the lasting impact of childhood trauma, the realities of addiction, spirituality, and the hope that recovery is possible—even after surviving experiences no child should have to endure.
