In Episode 24, Chad sits down with Brooke Torres to share her powerful testimony of redemption. Brooke’s story begins with a childhood marked by divorce and a search for love that led her down a dark path. What started as "fitting in" with marijuana in the 8th grade quickly spiraled into a 15-year battle with meth, heroin, abusive relationships, and incarceration. Brooke opens up about the pain of losing custody of her firstborn son, the cycle of addiction that kept her bound, and the dangerous lifestyle that nearly took her life.

But God had a different plan.

From meeting her husband Tim in a flop house to living in a car in San Diego, Brooke shares the turning point that changed everything. Now 10 years clean and sober, Brooke is a testament to the fact that it is never too late to start over. She has been restored as a mother, a wife, and a servant of God. Today Brooke and her husband run an HVAC company and enjoy the important things in life...faith, family and friends.

Join us as we discuss the impact of fatherless youth, the reality of gateway drugs, and the incredible freedom found in surrender. Brooke’s message is clear: Don’t wait. The more time you lose, the harder it is to get back. Make the choice to get help today.
