From heroin addiction, prison, overdoses and homelessness to freedom, healing and purpose through Jesus.

In this powerful episode of the Jesus Studio Podcast, Ray shares his extraordinary testimony of growing up neglected and in care, battling deep rejection and identity struggles, and spending 10 years addicted to heroin. After years of crime, overdoses and trying everything possible to escape addiction, Ray found himself at rock bottom in a derelict room in London.

But everything changed when God intervened.

Ray shares the dramatic moment he encountered the Holy Spirit in a small church in Hampshire, where the desire for heroin instantly left him after years of addiction. He opens up about discovering his true identity as an adopted son of God, the healing journey that followed, and the incredible ways God guided and provided for him through every stage of his life.

Now, after decades of helping others through counselling, addiction recovery and ministry, Ray reflects on the goodness, faithfulness and kindness of God through it all.
