From Shame to New Life
Help & Hope - Addiction Docustories | Ben’s Story
How does someone go from believing they're too broken for God to finding complete freedom in Christ?
Ben spent years trapped by childhood trauma, addiction, pornography, alcohol, opioids, and shame. After surviving an overdose, he finally cried out for help. Through God's Word and the transforming power of the Gospel, Ben discovered that Jesus wasn't finished with his story.
This story is part of the MARKINC Help & Hope – Addiction Docustories series from MARKINC Ministries, highlighting hope, healing, and recovery through Jesus Christ.

Ben’s Story is one of several being produced in direct correlation to the upcoming Help & Hope Conference being hosted by MARKINC in February of 2027.
We are partnering with leading voices and seminaries to host the MARKINC Ministries Help & Hope Conference on Substance Abuse, a two-day gathering focused on equipping the local church to address substance use disorders through a reformed biblical lens.
Before the conference, we invite you to hear directly from those who have lived it. The Help & Hope - Addiction Docustories feature real accounts of addiction, loss, and redemption that illustrate why this work matters and why the Church must be ready to respond.
