Pastor Robby Gallaty: A Journey from Addiction to Redemption
I was the last guy who would ever come to Christ, I mean I wasn't looking for Jesus, but apparently was looking for me.
Pastor Robby Gallaty's story is a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit. For three harrowing years, Robby was trapped in the grip of a $180-a-day heroin and cocaine addiction. His life spiraled out of control as he resorted to stealing $15,000 from his parents, lived without basic utilities, and lost eight friends to drug-related deaths.
The turning point came when a friend from college shared the gospel with him, leading to a life-altering moment of salvation on November 12, 2002. Since then, Robby has not only turned his life around but has also dedicated himself to helping others break free from addiction. As the Senior Pastor at Long Hollow since 2015 and the founder of Replicate Ministries, Robby uses his experiences to guide others toward recovery.
In this episode, he shares his journey with raw honesty, discussing the crucial role of faith and accountability in overcoming addiction. He also touches on alternative detox methods and warns against enabling behaviors. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking hope and practical advice on the path to recovery.
