Summary

A mom of two sons who died of fentanyl poisoning gave an emotional testimony in front of Congress the other day. I talked with this mom and she made the point that a) overdose deaths are on the rise with no sign of slowing and b) these poisons come from Wuhan, China to the Mexican cartels and across our border to our kids. In this episode, we'll talk about how to keep our kids from "experimenting" with these dangerous drugs by guarding the heart, the wellspring of life. Learn more about your ad choices.

1:06.5	experimenting with drugs because it may be fentanyl and then you die.
