Page 249: John Wilson: From Addiction to a Marriage Restored

What do you do when your marriage feels impossible? When one person is chasing God and the other is chasing the party? John Wilson’s story is a powerful reminder that no marriage is beyond hope. From a childhood marked by abuse to a relationship built on partying, addiction, and conflict, John and his wife Beth once seemed worlds apart. Both were struggling with emptiness and destructive habits. Everything changed the night John encountered Jesus at a Christian concert, sparking a spiritual transformation that would eventually touch their marriage. Over time, both John and Beth surrendered to faith, learned to forgive each other, and rebuilt a marriage rooted in love, grace, and purpose. Today, John leads Light the Way Ministries, reaching hundreds of thousands through Christian music concerts and Missouri’s largest Christian music festival. He is the author of Honky Tonk Nights to Christian Lights.
