Description

In this raw and powerful episode, Louis sits down with Dennis McFarland—a man whose journey from chaos to redemption is nothing short of miraculous. Growing up dirt-poor in a packed house with eight cousins, Dennis’s childhood was defined by turmoil, survival, and heartbreak. Times were so tough, they resorted to eating cat food just to make it through the day.By the age of 16, Dennis was a full-blown alcoholic, numbing the pain of a life that seemed hopeless. But things took an even darker turn when he became possessed by a demonic force—something he speaks about with chilling honesty. It was only through an incredible spiritual awakening that Dennis found religion, reclaimed his life, and has remained sober since 1991.From rock bottom to becoming a beacon of hope, Dennis later worked in corrections—using his past to inspire and guide inmates, including people just like me. Today, he's a published author of two powerful books and continues to dedicate his life to helping others find light in the darkest places.This is an unforgettable story of pain, transformation, and the relentless power of faith.
