Benn, who was known as the Dark Destroyer in his boxing prime, shared how his life spiralled out of control to the point of attempted suicide. But when his family moved abroad his life was turned around after a life-changing experiencing with Jesus. From that point on he was set free from his addictions and he’s now an active volunteer in the Hillsong Church, helping to restore men facing their own family issues.
