Strung Out For Christ | Pastor Chris Jones Story

On this episode of the StraitJacket Podcast, I sit down with Pastor Chris Jones, whose story begins with crack at 14 and spirals into decades of addiction, incarceration, and soul-deep pain. He spent years lost in the streets, prisons, and his own brokenness—numbing what hurt and running from anything real. But when he encountered Jesus and surrendered through the program of AA, everything began to shift.Today, Pastor Chris is more than clean—he’s called. He dedicates his life to serving the homeless, addicts, and those most often forgotten, pouring hope into the places he once felt hopeless. His redemption isn’t just about recovery—it’s about restoration and calling. This is the story of a lost boy who became a man of God, and now walks back into the darkness to lead others into the light.
