Devon’s struggle began early in life when he turned to alcohol and, eventually, drugs to cope with unresolved trauma. Reflecting on those dark years, he says, “I tried repeatedly to stop on my own… I felt so alone and didn’t know how to quit.”
A pivotal moment led him to Heartland, where he found not only support but a sense of belonging. “Coming to Heartland and getting to know God… has been the best thing that ever happened to me,” Devon explains. Surrounded by a community that embraced him in a Godly way, he discovered how to live, connect, and fellowship without the need for substances. His life and relationships have flourished, and he now understands what it means to be a Christian man.
To anyone still struggling, Devon urges, “Don’t try to go through it alone. You need God, and you need people to help you.” If you or someone you know is battling addiction, take that first step toward freedom and reach out for support. The journey is challenging, but it is undeniably worth it. If you or someone you know is looking for hope, freedom, or peace reach out to us today!
