Justin found himself in a rough patch. After turning to drugs and alcohol, he discovered that he was getting in deeper and deeper. After 15 years and two suicide attempts, Justin hit rock bottom. His friends kept telling him, “the first thing you need to change is the music you listen to.” That’s when Justin found Shine 104.9.
“God hit me right in the heart,” says Justin. He is now a leader in his church and celebrating two years sober. His story is part of a new ad promo for Shine 104.9 in Spokane. To watch the promo of how lives are being changed, go to news.uccsda.org/shine31721.
