He Survived Bullying, Addiction & Darkness | Dave Morgan Part 1 | THE JOURNEY

What starts as a story of childhood bullying in Wales unfolds into a gripping testimony of hidden pain, silent fear, and the slow descent into addiction. In this deeply moving episode of The Journey, Julieann Hartman sits down with special guest Dave Morgan to share the first part of his powerful life story.

Dave opens up about growing up in Swansea, Wales, enduring relentless bullying, night terrors, fear, and isolation—and the simple but life-altering moment when his mother placed a Gideon Bible in his hands and told him to read it before bed. As his confidence later grows through martial arts, success, and leadership, the enemy quietly begins to lay traps through subtle compromises that eventually lead to drug use and hidden addiction.

This episode reveals a crucial truth: no one “wakes up” wanting to become addicted—every story begins with pain, compromise, and deception. Dave’s transparency shines a light on how the enemy disguises destruction and how important discernment truly is in every season of life.

👉 In Part 2, Dave will share what happened when everything finally collapsed—and how God brought radical freedom, deliverance, and restoration.
