Fred Dible spent years addicted to crack cocaine. He’s seen rock bottom more times than he can count — but today, he’s been clean for over a decade and serves as a preacher, helping others find the light he nearly lost. In this emotional interview, Fred opens up about the darkest chapters of his life, the pain he caused, and the moment he chose to change. His story is raw, unfiltered, and deeply human. You don’t have to be religious to find something powerful here. This is a story about survival, redemption, and the love people can show each other when they refuse to give up. Faith plays a role in Fred’s journey, but at its core, this is about one man being given another chance — and choosing to use it for good. Watch, share, and leave a comment if Fred’s story moved you — or if you’ve walked a similar path.

UPDATE: This exclusive footage, obtained by FreeWire, shows a shocking sign displayed in Crestline, Ohio, reading 'Heil! 4th Reich!'

Regardless of intent, this kind of inflammatory rhetoric has no place in our community. Let’s fight back with kindness, better speech, and unity. 📖 Read the full story and get updated details on our Facebook: FreeWire Magazine #NoHateInCrestline #StandAgainstHate #FreeWireExclusive
