I thought my big problem was drinking. If I can stop drinking, I'll be okay. That’s what I thought.
Lon's story is a powerful testament to the transformative power of faith. Growing up in Denver, Lon was a good student and even attended Dartmouth College on an academic scholarship. However, during his time at Dartmouth, he was introduced to drugs, which led him down a dark path. After hitting rock bottom, Lon sought solace in the Bible and embarked on a journey of spiritual discovery.
He dropped out of college and hiked the Appalachian Trail with nothing but a sleeping bag and a Bible. This period of introspection and prayer led him to a Christian commune, where he eventually found his faith in Jesus Christ. Lon's newfound faith helped him reclaim his life, return to Dartmouth, and graduate cum laude. He went on to attend Dallas Theological Seminary and dedicated his life to ministry, working at the Denver Rescue Mission and leading Bible study groups.
Lon's story is one of redemption and hope, showing that no matter how far you fall, faith can help you rise again.
