Summary

It's easy for us to put pastors on a pedestal. We look to our spiritual leaders to be further along in their journeys than we are, but who does the pastor turn to with their own struggles? Too often, the answer is nobody, as was the case for Justin White. A prescription to treat a headache sent Justin down a slippery slope that ended in a full-blown heroin addiction. Small secrets led to bigger ones, and eventually Justin went from preaching behind a pulpit to living behind bars. Now free and sober, Justin sits down with Davey to share his story of addiction, recovery, and more.

0:46.0	And it was so fascinating. I've got to have him as a guest.
0:49.0	So fascinating.
0:50.0	It was a story of addiction and heroin addiction. And something you would never have guessed.
0:57.0	If you met Justin, if you saw him in person, I mean, there's no way this guy was addicted to heroin.

1:12.0	he was rescued from it and you're going to find some twists in his story that are really, really crazy.
