From Drunk to Devoted…Hope for the Black Sheep | Ben Fuller
Hope Dealers with Scott Smith & Taylor DempseyShow Notes
You might not know this story about Ben Fuller...from almost dying as a teenager and having an addiction for years he still found himself chasing approval onstage. Until something shifted...
In this episode, Ben Fuller shares the raw story behind the songs we know well: From his attempt to take his own life, to drugs and alcohol as a way to numb emptiness, to the moment an invite to church changed everything. You’ll hear how Ben went from a dairy farm in Vermont to playing bars in Nashville, why hiding in plain sight can be more dangerous than rock bottom, and the exact moment he said, “Jesus, will you help me?”
If you’re carrying pain, trying to outrun emptiness, or wondering whether God can actually use your worst chapter, this episode is for you. Ben’s story is proof that redemption is real, hope is not cliché, and sometimes the most powerful prayer you can pray is the shortest one: help.
