Substance Abuse

From sold-out arenas, drugs, and rockstar chaos to a bathtub breakdown that changed everything—Tony found Jesus when a bold pastor dared to tell him the truth backstage.

At 23, he had 27 felony charges and no hope left. Rejected by his family and drowning in addiction, he overdosed and died. What happened next was more than just a near-death experience—it was an encounter with God that brought him back to life and gave him a mission.

A former Marine and convicted felon found hope after watching a changed friend’s testimony. Through jail, Bible study, and surrender to God, his life and family began to transform, inspiring his son and redirecting him toward community healing.

Caught in darkness, drugs, and fast money, he lost everything—again. But on a beach in Miami, the Holy Spirit led him to a stranger who invited him to church. There, he surrendered fully to Jesus and found boldness and purpose.

Struggling with addiction and guilt, he sought God on a missions trip to the Dominican Republic. There, everything changed. Set free through prayer, Scripture, and service, he returned home shining with God’s light—and began sharing Christ wherever he could.

Once a violent gang enforcer and meth dealer for the cartel, he met Jesus in a jail cell. His life radically changed—trading hate for hope, crime for peace, and discovering freedom through forgiveness and purpose in Christ.
