November 29, 2000 was the day everything changed for Jack Larkin. Before that memorable Sunday morning, Jack says feeding his drug and alcohol addiction was a full-time job. After that day, it wasn’t.

This is the story of how Jack Larkin went from active addiction to recovering addict in a single moment that he was not expecting.

Jack Larkin is on BRIGHT-FM every afternoon with the Jack and Molly Show. Even though Jack is part of a ministry that makes hope louder for others, this story is a reminder he also needs hope made louder himself every day.

We all do.
