HEROIN: Delivered from Darkness—how Jesus delivered me from dope fiend to disciple 16+

Comments on last episode that I re-published (is that a word?) lol 26.09.2021 19:30 ↓

I realized I sounded a bit critical towards my husband and I probably was, but I wanted to clarify a bit 😂

Rambling and venting: I unpublished this episode but now I’m publishing it again lol. 26.09.2021 35:28 ↓

I rarely listen to my podcasts after recording, but I felt like I sounded kinda calloused. I didn’t want to sound like a b**** but then I figured I should just be real. It is what it is. So I put it back on. I got a phone call from my husband last night and ended up hanging up on him.
