Do we live with unresolved discontent? Bill Arnold and George Fraser answer this question with their guest, Jassen Ferris.
Jassen started experimenting with marijuana at 13 and was using methamphetamine by age 14 to escape from a highly dysfunctional home life. By his 20’s he was on a meth-induced rampage. Jason’s life only got worse from there, but it was hearing the Word of God, John 14:6, that turned everything around.
Jassen eventually found hope through Minnesota Adult and Teen Challenge, and his life is completely new. Now, he’s leading a recovery group of his own and he’s reaching out to those were in his same situation when he was younger.
Jassen had a lot of opportunity and reason to make excuses for the path he went down and he had ample reason to be discontent, but you’ll hear how he has taken responsibility for his actions and his past and how he’s turned the negative into a positive.
