Facing heroin addiction head on: An interview with Karen and Frank Boykin

Parenting is not for the faint of heart. Children, no matter how hard you try or how much you do, come into this world with individual genetic predispositions and, ultimately, wills of their own .

Karen and Frank Boykin are loving, model parents, who are very involved in providing the best upbringing for their two children. Even so, their son Stephen fell prey to the terrible battle of addiction. In this candid, heart-wrenching video you will hear a tale of woe but also a tale of utter love and hope, followed by redemption and success as the Boykins stood side-by-side with Stephen to help him achieve sobriety.

Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’   – Luke 15:4-6
