Summary

SummaryI’m Todd McIntosh, 31, once trapped in two decades of substance abuse—from cheap beer at nine, to oxy, heroin, fentanyl, then meth. I wrecked cars, lost jobs, dodged family, and shrank to 126 lbs while selling the same poison that owned me. 🩸
Last May, starving on a basement floor, I finally whispered, “God, send me a boat.” Months later four felony indictments became my vessel. Turning myself in, detoxing in jail, and moving back to Mom’s porch, I felt Jesus tap my heart: “This is your boat.” 🚤✝️
Since 22 April 2025 I’ve been sober. I wear an ankle monitor like a badge of freedom, dive into church, Celebrate Recovery, and Bible study, and was baptized in the river of my childhood. Whatever my August sentencing brings, I’m already free—alive to chase God’s fire, not the world’s lies. 🔥🙌

The story of a man who was radically changed from one chasing the world and his own desires to chasing after the fire God.
