Bobby Hayden Jr. shares his remarkable journey from child prodigy and rock star to homeless heroin addict and finally to a redeemed minister with a powerful testimony of God's transformative love.
• Child musical prodigy who performed on the Ed Sullivan Show and Grand Ole Opry by age 10
• Ran away at 16 to pursue rock and roll, eventually playing with bands like Poison and Motley Crue
• Social drug use led to severe heroin addiction that cost him his career and left him homeless on Skid Row for 8 years
• Prayed for hope from a dumpster and received it the next day from a man named "Esperanza" (Spanish for "hope")
• Now runs Cardboard Box Ministries, completely free from addiction since 2008
• Believes transformation comes through discovering who Jesus really is and letting Him "love the hell out of you"
Five truths for a supercharged day: total forgiveness in Christ, being a new creation, freedom from the law, union with Christ, and empowerment by the Holy Spirit.
