I’m thrilled to share a powerful moment from Reverend Rafael Cruz, father of Senator Ted Cruz, who joined us on the show. Reverend Cruz opened up about his transformative experience with faith and alcohol. It all started with a simple biblical reference to Jesus turning water into wine, which initially justified his drinking. However, his perspective shifted dramatically at the beach one day when, mid-drink, the taste of beer suddenly turned unbearably bitter. That sip was the last alcohol he ever tasted. He returned home and emptied his entire collection of liquor, a symbolic act of his newfound commitment. For nearly 50 years now, he hasn't touched a drink, a change he credits to divine intervention removing not just the taste but the very desire for alcohol from his life. This story isn’t just about quitting drinking; it's about the profound ways faith can reshape our lives and lead us to liberation from our battles.
