The Night the Holy Spirit Walked Into My Room (6-8 Pills a Night)
with Justin Franich
There was a season where I was couch surfing in California, popping six to eight ecstasy pills a night. One night I was burning a CD for a party and accidentally downloaded worship music. That worship music confronted me. Then the Holy Spirit walked into my room like a flood. I started weeping. Real tears. The desire for drugs broke. Three months later my grandmother called and offered to fly me to Virginia. That was the beginning of the next chapter.
