In this powerful episode of Apostle Talk, host Dave Bigler sits down with Ben Deeb, a quad-certified peer professional (CRPA, CJSR, PSP, CARC) and Center Staff Supervisor at Healing Springs Recovery Community and Outreach Center in Saratoga County, New York. Ben shares his raw, redemptive journey from severe cocaine addiction, repeated arrests (around 15 times), homelessness, and incarceration to becoming a transformative leader in recovery support. He candidly discusses how substance use disorders and mental health challenges affect a vast majority of the incarcerated population, the lack of meaningful rehabilitation or wraparound services in the justice system, and how a divine encounter with God during one of his jail stays ignited lasting change. Ben now supervises peer professionals, spearheaded the development of medication-assisted treatment (MAT) programs, recovery units, and reentry initiatives in the Saratoga County jail, helping justice-impacted individuals find hope, stability, and freedom.The conversation highlights the systemic failures in treating addiction as a moral failing rather than a health issue, the vital role of peer support and faith in recovery, and Ben's ongoing mission to train others and expand programs that bridge jail to community reintegration. This episode is a stirring testimony of God's redemptive power, the importance of compassion over judgment, and practical steps toward breaking cycles of addiction and recidivism. If you're struggling with addiction, supporting someone who is, or passionate about justice reform and recovery advocacy, Ben's story offers encouragement and real-world insight.If you or someone you know is struggling with substance use, reach out for help:Healing Springs Recovery Community: (518) 306-3048https://preventioncouncil.org/healing-springs/Shelters of Saratoga:(518) 581-1097https://sheltersofsaratoga.org/Subscribe for more inspiring testimonies of faith, recovery, and transformation.

Hello everyone and welcome back to This Week in Guns, brought to you by Patriot Patch Company, FFLPayments, and MAF Corporation. This show offers commentary on the latest firearms industry news, information and buzz. I'm your host Matthew Larosiere and I'm joined by the ratman. Congressman tries to add bill amendment to increase NFA Tax Traditional Arms: Fuddbusters and Ratman Large mediocre law funds ammo production and scale-up It ND's today  MAF Corp: Fudbdusterss Kim Rhode & CRPA beat CA's ammo background checks/fees at n9th's circus Nonviolent felons federal rights restoration proposed rule FFL Payments Proposed ATF Budget Cuts Thing that would be cool if it happened but will not happen proposed Patriot patch Co.

The Air Force has paused the use of the M18 pistol after an accidental discharge led to an airman's death, highlighting ongoing concerns about the safety of the SIG P320 series. A proposed federal rule aims to restore firearm rights to individuals previously precluded from possessing firearms, addressing a long-standing gap in the application of the Gun Control Act.

Tate Adamiak, a Navy Master-at-Arms and future SEAL, had his life destroyed when the ATF reclassified common surplus gun parts as illegal and used that to justify a full-blown takedown. No illegal guns. No violent crime. Just a hobbyist, railroaded by a rogue agency pushing a political agenda. Joe LaPorto from the Civil Liberties Policy Research Center joins us to explain what really happened, why this case matters to every law-abiding gun owner in America, and what we can do to fight back. Joe also breaks down how his team is fighting unconstitutional gun permit fees in New Jersey. Both battles reveal just how far government overreach has gone, and what we can do to push back.
