| 1/6/26 | ![]() Ep. 109 Kevin Crenshaw | Heartbreak Nearly Killed Me | Addiction, Homelessness, Mental Health & Healing | Heartbreak nearly killed him.Kevin Crenshaw shares his raw and deeply honest journey through heartbreak, suicidal thoughts, addiction, chronic illness, and losing everything — long before his life ever “looked” like it was falling apart.In this episode of I Am Redemption, Kevin opens up about how heartbreak shattered his identity, how chasing love and relief slowly turned into deeper pain, and how avoidance led him down a path of addiction, mental health collapse, overdoses, homelessness, and a complete loss of self.What started as emotional pain and identity confusion escalated into a full unraveling. Kevin talks candidly about surviving his own mind, losing trust in himself, and hitting moments where he didn’t know if he would make it out alive.Despite near-death experiences, illness, and repeated attempts to escape his pain, Kevin continued to spiral, a reality many people struggling in silence know all too well. This conversation dives into the truth about heartbreak, addiction, and healing, why “high functioning” doesn’t mean healthy, and why awareness alone isn’t enough to change.A significant part of Kevin’s story also centers on his relationship with God, not in a polished or performative way, but in the moments where he had nothing left. He shares how faith entered the picture at his lowest points, how surrender replaced control, and how trusting God became part of rebuilding his life from the ground up.Kevin also talks candidly about:• Heartbreak and identity loss• Suicidal ideation and mental health collapse• Addiction, overdoses, and avoidance• Chronic illness and nervous system burnout• Homelessness and losing everything• Wrestling with God during suffering• Surrender, faith, and letting go of control• Responsibility vs. awareness• Rebuilding from nothing without romanticizing painThis episode is for anyone who:• Appears put together while quietly struggling• Has tied their identity to love, success, or validation• Is surviving instead of truly living• Is sober-curious, in recovery, or facing emotional pain alone• Is questioning faith, meaning, or purpose in the middle of sufferingIf this conversation resonates, you’re not alone, and there is a way forward.Kevin Crenshaw Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.heart.guyI Am Redemption Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iam.redemptionYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@IAmRedemption👉 Subscribe for weekly episodes and real stories of transformation.🎧 New episodes of I Am Redemption every week. 📩 If this episode helped you, consider sharing it with someone who needs to hear it.⏱️ EPISODE CHAPTERS / TIMESTAMPS00:00 Introduction & Kevin’s story begins04:30 Heartbreak and losing identity11:40 Chasing love and avoiding pain19:20 Mental health collapse & suicidal thoughts29:10 Addiction, illness, and spiraling41:50 Homelessness and losing everything52:40 Wrestling with God and surrender01:02:30 Faith, responsibility, and rebuilding01:14:10 Purpose after pain01:27:00 Final reflections and closing thoughts#MentalHealth #AddictionRecovery #FaithJourney #IAmRedemptionHosted on Ausha.
