(Faithit) Herman Mendoza was once a New York drug lord with the world at his fingertips. With millions of dollars, women, and worldly possessions, Mendoza thought he had it all — until his arrests and detainments led him on a path to discovering God and transforming his life.
Mendoza, author of the new book “Shifting Shadows: How a New York Drug Lord Found Freedom in the Last Place He Expected,” is now a Christian pastor in New York City.
And he recently told “The Pure Flix Podcast” about his foray into narcotics, explaining that he started experimenting with drugs as a teenager.
But it wasn’t until Mendoza’s 20’s when he couldn’t find employment that he really dove deep into the drug trade, following in the footsteps of his brothers.
