In this episode I am joined by Crystal Thompson who had a long and painful journey with a variety of different substances. It is safe to say that Crystal probably tried anything that would allow her to escape her painful reality of failed relationships and her mistaken identity of who she really was in the eyes of God. She spent many years where she wasn't able to see herself the way that God sees her, and only through the lens of what the world saw. 
She spent the last years of her addiction chasing crystal meth from her local community to several hundred miles away from her home and her family. This lifestyle became the norm for Crystal unfortunately, that is until God came into the picture and guided her steps to bring her unto Himself. 

Listen to Stephen Thomas share his story of redemption from porn and sex addiction. Which started from an early age of feeling neglected and isolated. Stephen is an extroverted person and desired relationships with people but had trouble navigating how to effectively approach them because pornography viewing was the way he thought people talked to each other. But God met him right when he needed him. He spoke through other people in dreams and visions to bring him into right relationship and Stephen found his identity in Christ. 
Stephen is now a counselor who helps other walk through these same issues. He can be reached at the following links:
