#71 How to Overcome Addiction Through Faith | Roger da Silva

There’s a moment in most people’s lives when something so raw and undeniable happens that they can no longer pretend the old version of themselves is working. For Roger da Silva, that moment came at two in the morning in one of Rio’s most dangerous neighborhoods, high and staring at a man running toward him screaming “Lucifer.” In this deeply personal conversation, Roger walks me through a spiritual journey that began with a baptism at 14, detoured through addiction and near-death, and ultimately arrived at a life built on faith, family, and purpose.
