This week’s guest is a former model and drug addict, Natalie Husk. Natalie is a beautiful young woman who was invited into the modeling industry where she became addicted to drugs. In spite of growing up in a Christian home, Natalie lost her way and became a prodigal daughter. After a stint in rehab she came out ready to live a drug-free life, only to be lured back into modeling where life became so much darker and her addiction grew to include shooting up heroin. For ten years her parents did everything they knew to help deliver her from this lifestyle, to no avail. But she finally came back to Jesus and went to a drug rehab center and she is here today to share her story. If you’ve ever loved someone with an addiction, I know Natalie’s story, with the assistance of addiction help, will inspire and encourage you. There’s always hope when God is invited in.
