Can love and faith really turn a life around after addiction? On this episode of That’s Just What I Needed,  I sit down with Taylor and Tessa Armstrong to hear their incredible story. Taylor, once a member of a popular hard rock band, opens up about his struggle with addiction and feelings of self-worth, even though he grew up in a loving Christian home.

This conversation is real and raw as we dig into the tough parts of addiction and recovery and the deep faith that helped them both pull through. Tessa shares the fine line between loving someone through their struggles and knowing when to set healthy boundaries. Her story reminds us of the power of prayer, faith, and love—even in the messiest of times.

You'll hear about Taylor’s wake-up call—a moment captured on video by Tessa—that set him on the path to sobriety and a fresh start in Christian music. They share how love, faith, and a supportive community can lead to real transformation.

If you or someone you love is navigating the challenges of addiction, this episode is filled with hope, practical insights, and the reminder that recovery is possible. Join our community for continued support, and be inspired by their journey of faith and redemption.
