Former addict: He pursued pleasure over all. Mickyle James Eshelman full show with Anh Le

Hi this is Evangelist Anh Le, welcome to the Real Life Radio Show, and we
are going to talk to Real People, who had real problems, but found
answers in a Real God. Today we are going to talk about the meaning of life, and provide evidence for the answer to one question, is the pursuit of pleasure the ultimate meaning of life? A lot of people would say so. That the point of life is to work hard, seek fun things to gain pleasure. Seems common sense right? According to neuroscientists, the human mind is wired to seek rewards for evolutionary purposes, and things that signal to the brain as pleasurable is how the human mind is made for the survival of mankind. Now, yes, we all seek pleasure to some sort of degree, and that is normal, but what happens when that reward system in the brain gets locked onto the wrong thing? Today, we will have Mickyle James Eshelman on our show who just wanted to live a happy life, and then in his pursuit of that, somehow fell into heroine addiction, and his sole purpose in life was to do anything to get that next high. But today, he has been set free from this addiction, and discovered the true meaning to his life. Mickyle, welcome to the show.
