About Gary

Gary was a pharmacist with a degree from Ole Miss. After 20 years of practice and frequent speaker at pharmacy seminars, he fell into drug addiction. This nightmare lasted 16 years, during which time Gary lost everything and spent years in and out of rehabs, jails, prison and crisis centers. Wishing to be set free, the guilt, shame and condemnation connected with addiction left him in a very depressed, dark state.

Then Jesus entered his life in a dramatic way. A vision at 3am one morning in 2012 set him free. Gary discovered that Christ Jesus had borne all his sins 2000 years ago on the cross. He saw where these sins were punished in the body of Jesus on the cross. They weren’t forgotten. They weren’t excused. They weren’t overlooked. They were judged and punished in the body of Jesus on the cross. Gary accepted, by faith, the perfect finished work of Jesus on the cross and was miraculously delivered. Jesus “restored that which He took not away.”

Gary shares this message of grace wherever and whenever the doors open.
