On this episode of Our American Stories, by 1967, Johnny Cash had become one of the biggest names in country music, though his addiction to amphetamines had pushed him into a vicious cycle of hospital visits and arrests. After days without sleep and hundreds of pills, Cash wandered into Nickajack Cave believing he would never come back out. But inside that dark cavern, Cash found God and began a long journey toward redemption.
Pastor Greg Laurie, author of Johnny Cash: The Redemption of an American Icon, shares the story of Cash’s struggle with addiction and the faith that helped reshape his life and career.
