EP #62: Drug Dealer Said, ‘You Need Help' - Barbie Sheffield's Story

On this episode of The God Wink Podcast, Barbie Sheffield shares her incredible testimony of redemption and healing from addiction. Growing up in an alcoholic home, Barbie recalls how there was no dining room table in the house, but her stepfather built a bar. By age 12, although she struggled with math, she could perfectly draw a beer bottle and cap — and before graduating high school, she had already become an alcoholic herself. Years later, after visiting her drug dealer and being told she needed help, Barbie returned home and came across Laverne Tripp giving a Salvation Call on television. In that moment, she gave her life to Jesus Christ and experienced instant freedom from addiction. Now sober for more than 35 years, Barbie shares her story as a testimony that God can redeem and completely transform any life.

EP#58 No One is Too Far Gone - Christine Johnson

In this powerful episode of The God Wink Podcast, Christine Johnson shares her deeply personal journey through addiction, redemption, and restoration. Struggling with meth and heroin at a young age, Christine found herself caught in a cycle that left her feeling hopeless, even after trying multiple recovery programs that fell short. Everything changed when she discovered Grace Centers of Hope in Pontiac. Through their year-long, Christ-centered program, Christine encountered something she hadn’t experienced before—true hope. With the support of the program and a renewed relationship with Jesus Christ, she began the process of healing, transformation, and freedom from addiction. Today, Christine’s story comes full circle. Not only has her life been restored, but she now serves others through her work at Grace Centers of Hope, helping those who are walking the same path she once did. Her journey is beautifully captured in Genesis 50:20—a verse that now defines her life: what was once meant for evil, God has turned into good, using her story to impact and uplift others. This episode is a powerful reminder that no one is too far gone, and that even in our darkest moments, God is working behind the scenes—writing a story of redemption, purpose, and hope.
