ABOUT THE HOST...

Cliff Harris was born into a conservative Christian, middle-class home, but spent 20 years worshipping drugs. His addiction began with marijuana, and progressed to cocaine and heroin, with his resulting criminal lifestyle engulfing the moral values of his childhood. He did two stints in the Colorado state penitentiary, with many trips to prison in between. Finally, in 1985, he realized he could not break the cycle of drug use by himself, and called on divine power to help him. His story of drug addiction and redemption is chronicled in his biography, Death Dance.

Freddie grew up in a dysfunctional home as her mother struggled to provide for her eight siblings after their father's death. From a foundation of emotional void and tension, Freddie navigated her life through failed marriages and the resulting damaged relationships with her three children. Realizing her need to forge an intimate bond with God, she spent one year “falling in love with Him,” excluding all romantic relationships from her life. Her documented conversations with God during this time are recorded in her book, Yours, Truly. Toward the end of her year focused on God, a friend at church introduced her to Clifford Harris, whom she married in 1985.

Together, Cliff and Freddie co-founded and currently direct the Drug Alternative Program, a drug and alcohol recovery facility for adult men located in Grand Terrace, California.
