McGhee says the same concepts apply to drug use. To further discuss the effects of addiction, he hosts a radio show called “A Spray for Life.” Named after the process for nasally administering naloxone sprays, the show invites guests experienced in addiction recovery to share their perspectives on alcohol misuse and resources to aid in recovery. “Therapists, mental health counselors, and people who formerly dealt with addiction are invaluable contacts here. One of the great problems with getting answers is not knowing the right questions to ask. So they give me questions to ask, and I present those questions back to them in dialogue form on the show.” Through both the show and his ministry, McGhee strives to create productive environments for growth A Spray for Life
and awareness surrounding recovery from substance abuse. He’s making space within his church’s facility to host social events for people transitioning through rehabilitation. “It’s normal for people walking away from addiction to rely on social interactions.They need entertaining places where they can gather with others, like nightclubs without alcohol or drugs. We have the space to do that here, and that’s a vision I would love to see happen.” While much of his efforts are focused on the community, McGhee aims to be intentional about investing these conversations within his family. He believes steps to addressing and preventing addiction begin at home by cultivating environments for
building positive influences. “I’m on a mission now to give however I can to help in this area of need. Legacy and heritage are two very important benchmarks in people’s lives. I want to think about what I’m leaving. So even with my grandchildren, I want to help parents and guide them and be the support for them in ways I didn’t know how to be for my son.”
