James Deluna's parents split when he was two years old, and in spite of their divorce, he actually did very well for himself in school, in his social circles, and in life in general. That all changed when he was 14, his dad remarried his mom, and James was inexplicably kicked out of his parents' house. He started to question his religious belief system, turned away from and even began to hate God as time progressed. Listen as James describes the details of his chaotic life including 29 years in the system where drugs and alcohol became his new forms of worship. Then, one event changed everything for James, reigniting his spiritual beliefs and helping turn away from the drugs and alcohol that were weighing him down. His story is one of redemption and hope where even in the depths of addiction, recovery is possible.

“One thing I’ve learned about life, nothing is by chance. It’s by design, and I needed to be extracted from life because I was destroying myself and I was destroying everyone around me. If I had been a cheesecake maker instead of a drug maker, my friends would have all been fat and had cheesecake around their mouth, but I wasn’t a cheesecake maker. I was somebody trying to speed up his time here upon the Earth because I didn’t want to be here. I felt that I had gone and done too much for God to want anything to do with me.” 39:15
