Mr. Whiskey Season 7 Episode 16

Send us a text

Today, I sit down with Mr. John Bacon, a clinical specialist working in addiction recovery who brings powerful testimony to the mic. Mr. Bacon opens up about his childhood in Flint, Michigan, growing up without a father and battling deep emotional wounds that led to a destructive cycle of cocaine, alcohol, and anger. He shares how faith, therapy, and hard life lessons turned his story from pain to purpose.

We dive deep into the spiritual warfare behind addiction, the misconception that sin is scalable, and the importance of identifying the root causes of anger. Mr. Bacon and I explore the role of fatherhood, how childhood trauma impacts adult decisions, and why spiritual healing must be intentional and spirit-led.

As someone who now works in detox facilities, psych wards, and speaks at churches, Mr. Bacon lives out Matthew 28:19—reaching people where they are and planting seeds of truth. This episode is a must-listen for anyone struggling with cycles of shame, addiction, or uncertainty in their walk with God. The harvest is ready—tune in and be equipped to plant seeds of purpose.
