S2E4 – Looking For God Through Drugs (Mystery Steve)

Looking For God Through Drugs Mystery Steve, Faith On Campus Podcast, by Ben Smart

In this week’s episode of Faith On Campus I interview Steve, a staffworker who works full-time on campus helping students “get the gospel right, and get the gospel out.” I can’t tell you Steve’s last name or where he works due the sensitive nature of his ministry context and the content of this interview, but I hope you’ll be encouraged nonetheless by hearing how God has been at work in his life.

Steve describes the younger version of himself as “a fairly cosmic guy” who spent years of his life trying to find the meaning of life through drugs. As he puts it,

“The other thing about drug taking is that it all gets a bit cosmic. And as I said about the gateway thing, it opens up for you taking more and different sorts of drugs, different combinations of drugs, greater quantities of drugs… And I was doing it on the one hand just because everyone else was doing it, but on the other hand, the main thing I was – and this will sound very hippie – I was actually trying to find the meaning of life. And I thought I could find it within.

But then through some pretty amazing circumstances, God brought about a radical change in Steve’s life. Have a listen to find out more about it!
