Singer Ben Fuller has experienced meteorological rise in the music industry, but his life has not always been as brilliant.
The Vermont native was once a drug user who had been searching for joy in all the wrong places, but he was not satisfied at all. But he likes to speak, so he saw “Jesus as Jesus swears to Jesus as his Savior” and ultimately placed the Lord at the centre of his life.
Today, Fuller is a Christian who openly preaches and shares the gospel through music and spoken language. And that’s why his life changed radically.
“I’m far more patient and I’m far more content,” Fuller told CBN News of his life in a post-Christian context. “The Bible says trouble will come… and it’s difficult to follow Jesus.”
However, Fuller, who just released “Walk Stroll Fire,” said his life was lit up by chasing after the Lord.
“After learning and hearing about this gospel of Jesus and how he died hanging on the cross, I rose again to spend my life. I began to believe in him, “Jesus, I love you, Jesus, I believe in you. I trust you. …He has blown my heart away,” he said.
Fuller’s passion for God is powerful. Especially considering that my 38-year-old spent 14 and a half years relying on cocaine, alcohol and sleep. All of these malicious intents were attempts to “fill in all the blanks,” but the singer said “nothing goes well.”
After coming to the breakpoint, Fuller came to the conclusion: “Well, I haven’t tried Jesus yet, so maybe I should ask him.” ”
And that decision – asking Christ to lead his life – has absolutely changed everything. Today, Fuller is on a mission to openly share his past, allowing others to help them navigate the path to spiritual freedom. By sharing the struggles openly, he helps people tackle their journey.
“I see all the freedom in this country, because people say, ‘Hey, I had a gun in my mouth too,'” he said. “And then suddenly, “Oh, wow, that was me, so thank you for saying that.
But Fuller, even after accepting the Lord, did not write words about navigating the struggle. In fact, he said he has to overcome some tough moments in recent years.
“There have been some really dark times since I said yes to Jesus. There, I feel there’s a wool blanket above my head and can’t breathe,” he said. “And I just say ‘What’s going on?’ And… I say Jesus’ name, and again, and again, and again, and the other beautiful thing is that I put amazing people in my life that I can call, I can text, I can contact, and they love Jesus more than I do. ”
He said the “bigest attack” he faces is mentally nagging the claim that no one cares about his story or that he should be self-isoraf. Fuller continued to endure his faith, and he spent quite a bit of time serving prisons and those in need.
Surprisingly, he “never arrested” even after nearly 15 years of being caught in addiction. This gave him a passion for serving in prisons and prisons. There, people spend their time on their poor choices.
However, he never faced legal consequences, but other forms of pain bothered him, including the death of his best friend, Ryan.
“He shot heroin and died,” he said.
Fuller is grateful that his own story changed after he found faith. He looked back at some of the men he meets in prisons who face time for less crime than he was found guilty.
“Some of these people I’m talking about are doing things that have done far less than I did — and they’ve been there for years,” he said. “It hit me, so I… ‘Lord, send me where you want me… I’m here’ … And he sent me to prison (to play and share). ”

Fuller said he often hears that there is less violence and confusion in prison after his visit, simply because he and others show up to prisoners to tell them that Jesus loves them.
Fuller also recalled discovering his love for music at a young age. While his family was selling sweet corn, he hummed singing and humming the music his father was playing from the tape deck of his old GMC pickup truck.
“I really fell in love with (I)… the way it made me feel, the broken heart, but I dreamed of it all,” Fuller said.
Decades later, he is now making music for the public and inspiring people along the way. Listen to Fuller’s latest album, “Walk Through Fire.”
