It’s take a strong man to recognize and admit and take accountability for his mistakes and his setbacks. You have come a long way and you are instilling your wisdom into your children who one day will carry on the legacy you have left for them

Adam you just spilled the beans, your human. Yes a lot of us have made mistakes and thankfully alot wake up to the fact and a few have the will as you do to fight back. Dude you'd be awesome to sit down to and talk. I suffer from panic attacks and it has been a battle to go do what I want at times and that cooks up the pissed off part. I'm not mad at anybody but myself for not being able to control my own mind. It came out of now where and the thing that pisses me off is I'm not afraid of shit. Something in my head is but I fight it the best I can and push myself to get out. Enough about my shit. You have a beautiful family and yeah I like your stories for a lot of what you say I can relate to. You came from a sorry existence to what you now have as a life, dude that's some inspiring shit right there. I also listen to your music and I like Up Church Big Smo alot or different people but always see one from you and I may not respond but you can bet I was there listening. Personally I think your awesome you been in that fight and have won. You just keep doing what your doing. Damn your boy has grown. Take care ....

Great story. I appreciate the realness. It’s lacking on youtube. I was a heroin addict 17 years ago and once my daughter was born it kicked my ass into gear and I got clean and have done really well for me and my family since then.

That's amazing, unfortunately it's not that way for a majority of Addicts, addiction is a product of evil of Satan, and sadly it's much harder for most to see past it and they abandon everything they have for their next fix, you are an exception and I commend you, you would make a good counselor. Thank you for sharing.

I’m 23 years sober. Just celebrated our 46th wedding anniversary. I thank God everyday for my wife and life I have. I should have lost it so many times. Thank you Jesus Christ for the new chance. Every day that goes by is one for day to the good balance sheet to the amends I owe my wife and best friend.

Adam, everything you are explaining, everything you are saying, points to an encounter with Jesus. Filled with love? Yes. You have been redeemed, bought back, and gifted with your family. GOD has you now.

Never think you're alone man, we're here fighting the same battles brother. When you share your stories it shows we're not alone either. I went through the same shit and now I have the greatest wife and most amazing 5 year old boy! Thanks for being one of us!

We see you, Adam. Thank you for being a role model to other aspiring good men. In case yall haven't heard it, I'm proud of you and you are a good man.

People crave authentic stories. Thank you for showing up❤

I doubt this comment gets read, but i feel like i need to share... I spent 15 years rippin and runnin doing heroin. All types of crime, homelessness, turning girls out. Whatver it took to keep my habit alive, i was gonna do it. I went to county jails, countless rehabs, and finally prison. Ive been clean for 7.5 years now. Been out of prison for about 5. I started a painting business 6 months after i got out and its still growing. Ive got an amazing wife and step kids. One of the step kids now works full time for me as a painter. Ive been a fan of yours for about 4 years now. I just want to say thanks for your music A Cal. Its gotten me through some tough times. Appreciate you brother. You da man!

You have a gorgeous family. My husband died suddenly when I was 41. I just woke one morning, and he was gone. Life shattered. The appreciation you have for your wife, never forget that. Time can be taken from us and you'll never regret savoring every day you have together.

I can relate my baby girl really saved me from Staying stuck in depression etc and still does ❤

Keep them coming. As a man of 68, I’ve walked in your shoes. Came out the other side by the Grace of God and living a life I never thought possible. Your message(s) are going do more good than you will ever know and touch hearts that need your love. Keep them coming. As I’ve learned life isn’t about searching for happiness, happiness is a byproduct of living the right kind of life. The journey home is never a direct route. Keep on trucking my good man! 🙏

This is so true that is an awesome response. and one of the best teachings is that we must stay on the narrow path stay away from the wide path and people are starting to get it. I’m also your age and that can’t be more true! Stay in line with God, and stay on that narrow path from here on! The wide path is the devils detour!

I'm in tears adam, you have one amazing family and one hell of a wife ,bless her heart, and you truly got lucky, adam .I'll continue you pray for you and your family ❤

“The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, a broken and a contrite heart-these, O God, You will not despise” (Psalm 51:17).

Yes sir it takes a true man to admit that he is not perfect and flawed I'm a flawed person myself keep on trucking down that road of redemption my brother Yahweh bless you

Nothing but respect Adam. It takes a real man to admit his wrongs and you did just that. You are a great man and good man and you will only continue to grow with the mindset you have now.

Never trust a woman who will abandon her family for another d!ck. I agree wholeheartedly with what you are saying. Being a Father, husband, a MAN - means standing through the trouble, sacrificing vice & striving for honor and virtue. The most sacred job we can have is that of a Family. Thank you for sharing YOUR TRUTH. That's the thing about TRUTH - it's the same for all of us. 🌲🦌🌲

Half of the battle in fixing a problem is admitting there is one. Good job Adam

I'm 45 years old. I ran from marriage and responsibility into my 30's. Me and my wife have been married, June 12th will make 15 years now. This woman has stuck with me through thick and thin, and I've stuck with her. Much like you, I dated her, but ran from her at the same time for a solid year. I honestly treated her like crap at times, yet she stuck with me and wouldn't give up. Now we've been married for almost 15 years and I have three daughters who are my world. A lot of people say and claim this, but I would lay down my life without even blinking an eye for her, or my daughters. She is my world, and a plan on being her husband and best friend for eternity, even after this short life on earth, so I would never ever cheat on her for any other woman. Men, if you find a woman like that, who won't give up, and sticks with you no matter what, then you better marry her, because a woman like that only comes around once in a lifetime, if your lucky.

Preach it brother! We all start from somewhere. It's the turn of the heart that God is after! What happened before then only matters that it is testimony! I have learned that testimony is POWERFUL! Keep it coming!

yes I agree with you! I told Adam the Lord loves him!!

Also, never trust a man that... backstabs the guy, who's responsible for his successful career and beautiful life. Especially while the guy he backstabs, has lost his entire family, from them also backstabbing him.

God, sobriety, and my wife saved my life. I will never take any of that for granted again because my life has become better than it has ever been. Take care of yourself and that beautiful family of yours.

Adam, I'm losing my 17 year old son to cancer right now. I have watched your videos and you are the voice that I follow. I'm not a fan of your music but I'm a fan of your story. You are blessed with a great family and man, I would be blessed to meet you. 🙏

Mr. Calhoun I'm a big fan of yours I'm so proud of you brother God bless be safe in your family

We’ve all been there bro. It’s good to acknowledge our fuck ups. We feel so much better after that. Real men can acknowledge our faults. 🙏

God continue to bless Adam and his family!!! You have an amazing story to tell.

Adam I could never picture you like that you're such a sweetheart but I'm happy that your wife turned everything around for you and her and your kids

Awareness and repentance creates a whole new path moving forward. It’s grace!

No human is perfect! We will always be a work in progress Adam..You seem like a great man, father, husband and of course American! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

That’s what makes us appreciate and relate to you, us men don’t talk about where we’ve been or how we feel. Love the family and compassion you have!! “EST 1980”

That love comes from Jesus , God bless you and your family .🙏❤️🙏🇺🇸

It take a big man to admit his downfalls and to stand up and say this is mine no matter how bad it is. I'm proud of you and what you've become in life. As a man of 50 I can't have kid's so congrats on the new baby boy. Your helping yourself by helping other's. I see a strong man when I look at Adam Calhoun, A proud man, A man that has a bad past but looks to a bright future. So in short yes keep this shit coming. More men need to hear this realness from someone who lived it. Stay strong and hold on to them always. I'm proud to say your one of my favorite artists and one hellova good man.🤜

Lived it .. survived it .. did your time .. your doing amazing things brother .. father, family guy , great rapper and musician.. looking forward to “ that “ country music .. loved the Brave 2 ..🔥🤘.. again your a real one ADAM.💯

Empty whole=fill with Jesus Christ All that anger, angst, sadness, rage, anxiety, everything is the absence of Jesus. People can be in our lives or not, Jesus will always be there ❤

God bless you Adam, in Jesus name !

So nice to hear a man take responsibility and be honest! So refreshing....thank you!

Respect brother 🇺🇸

You’re never Alone ever !! Just know that Adam 👍👍

That “Empty” feeling Adam, that’s the God sized hole that all humans are born with until they give their lives to Jesus. (At least that’s what I called it after I was Filled) I pray someday you and your beautiful family come to Jesus and spend eternity in Heaven with Jesus when this blink of an eye human worldly mess of a life is over. It’s so bad right now. All of us NEED Jesus in order to be FILLED…. Once I accepted him FULLY 💯 my life Changed! I can’t tell u all the ways I’m blessed in my life now. The Miracles he’s working in me and for me… I’ll keep your Family in my prayers along with my son, whom I’m also working on and planting that seed for Jesus to grow. I love you and your beautiful family and only want to see u living your best life WITH Jesus.. 🥰♥️🙏🙏🙏🙏

I loved watching Adams dreams come true, one at a time. Feels like it was just yesterday. Cant believe its already been 10 years. Couldn't have happened to a better guy.❤❤❤

Hey Adam, I'm a hired man in NW KS. I drove out to your show in CO springs earlier this year and while I was waiting in line Tamon came up and shook my hand. I thought that was pretty damn cool for him to do that for a fan. Got a fist bump from you while I was in front row. Ive never been good at expressing myself but I just wanted to say Thanks for all your music and videos of you just talking. Your honesty and confidence have helped/heal many times. Even great men are imperfect. Thanks for everything you do man, I mean that from the bottom of my heart.

Never trust a man that will beat you. Over and over. Even though you keep coming back. I wanted my family. He broke my heart.

Adam at the very end of this video you spoke the answer to every man’s problem. It is love filling your heart and that love comes from the Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord graciously showed you that love through your family but ultimately that love needs to be focused on the Lord Almighty God and Jesus Christ. God bless you In this life we will have troubles tribulations and heartache but in Christ we will have peace.

Bro I've listened to all your stuff, you've actually put a lot of this stuff in your raps and it's awesome of you to have that epiphany and share it with all of us. Thank you sir. Congratulations on your baby boy!

Damn. That hit hard. i Get outta this rehab in 4 days. after years of hospitals, jails, and prisons, at 47, im finally gettin some clarity. the past 14 years have been chaos. Lost my wife through it, but she tried her best. Shes the mother of my 4 children who ultimately gave me puropse and saved my life. thanks for sharing this Adam

❤ That's a strong women who fell in love with you and seen the good in you and never gave up on you... Congratulations 🎉 you two.. My husband and I have just came across your music on your tube and we are now fans..and vote yes on more videos like this..

Your testimony made me cry. God bless you and your beautiful family.

Takes a strong man to be that open, man. Inspiration to the men that are struggling with stuff in their life.

This man is a great example of how all men should strive to be in America. 💪😎🙏🪖

Clearly living by the words "Live and learn" I love this guy. I love his music, I love his attitude and charisma, his honesty and how he holds himself accountable. We NEED men like this more than ever. Thank you ACAL

Each day, the only person we need to be better than, is the person we were the day before.

A good man makes mistakes,learns and tries to avoid those bad decisions again! A brave man will die before repeating them! God bless your beautiful family!

All of us (your fans) would love to hear more heart to heart stories because most of us can relate. We all watch and listen to you for a reason, because we're not that different. You are our voice, we all share the same thoughts and opinions. "To be a man" we're all in this together. It's nice to have artists like yourself to actually relate to.

Great video my guy🫡. Never underestimate the power of prayer. Only through praying is how we become better men and woman to be an example to our children.

Lord wrap your arms around Adam and his family lord I pray to u amen

👏it works both ways for women too. My wife walked out on her husband and daughters when i got als, to live with her homeless gambler boss because she was “not happy” anymore. Thank you for talking about integrity and loyalty

I went thru same thing with my wife. Because of God and seeing how he blessed you is very helpful knowing I'm not alone. We celebrated 10 years and renewed our vows. Thank you Adam for opening your heart about your struggles. God bless

Hell yeah!! Damn, we could be twins.. lol even though I’m older than you.. it took me OVER 40 years to learn it.. and like you, I’m a work in progress every day!! I don’t have the “fame” you have.. but we’re cut from the same cloth for sure.. I’ve been with my “Better 1/2” for 7 years.. neither of us are in a rush to get married.. I’ve been there 5 times.. ( long story ).. She’s been there once… BUT.. She’s my MF-in ROCK.. and there’s no way in the world I’d screw that up.. Males for some stupid reason, don’t understand, screwing around is a damn sickness.. and if you CAN’T realize that, or REFUSE to realize that.. you’re doomed for life.. Great stuff @Adam.. keep the stories coming.. I love this shit!! And I DEFINITELY need to hear it as a reminder.. Thank you brother!! Stay blessed and congrats on the new Young Adam coming soon!! Peace ✌️

Adam Calhoun it is such a good thing that you’re doing here - sharing your life and your story with other young (and not so young) men to give them perspective, and encouragement. A many today faces so many confusing narratives and attacks from all quarters and it’s easy to lose your way trying to be a better man. I appreciate you. You’re a talented, hard working, patriotic young family man who owns his human failings and shares his passions, and triumphs. Thank you and God bless you.

if I could love this a million times I would..

I did NOT expect to cry watching this. But here I am looking for a tissue. Well said, Adam. Your introspection and beautiful family serve you well! Congrats on baby #3! 🎉

It's so important & valuable for people to hear stories like yours so they don't give up hope!! Keep sharing!!

Margie is a warrior. 🙏🏼Honor her always. ❤️

I was like that in horrible depression. I was abused and couldn't forgive myself for past mistakes. I prayed, I left my abuser. I had to get on medication. The main thing that started to heal me was Jesus honestly. I keep growing in faith.

Thanks for sharing brother. There are reasons why celebrities take their own lives. All the money and fame in the world means nothing if you can't be happy with yourself. Life requires more than the materialistic and pharmaceutical vices we use to fill that void. For me it was Christianity and serving my family and helping others and once I started caring more about making others lives better worrying about me became an easier task to deal with. I so appreciate that you come on here and spit truth. Cheers

Amen, Adam. Great testimony. Thank you for sharing the blessing in your life with us. Beautiful growing family. Congratulations 🎊

Your families so beautiful and now you have LC, ❤️😔 such a blessing. Thankful you taking the time, I am listening. It sucks feeling broken. 🥹 When the worlds on fire, the fuels always been here. Behind the scenes within. Instead of building on this 🇺🇲dream, those that hate us made it worse. Hope we live another decade. God Bless May 06, 2024

Beautifull story! Beautifull family! Massive inspiration! 😘❤️🇬🇧

Your honesty is amazing Adam. Much respect dude. Much respect. Shit man, you broke me down with this. But thank you so much.

That was pretty f'kn cool! You just shared your heart and I always appreciate when folks get real 💯 God bless you and your beautiful family🤘🧡

Breaks my heart for you but you turned it around!! The Lord is reaching out to you guys!! He loves you!!

Amazing story Adam. Our boys and young men in America need people like you who have struggled in life but have made the right choice to support their families even when it seems impossible. Keep sharing your life story. We need this greatly in America!

It takes a lot to do a testimony like this ❤. Stay strong and stay happy. Love you, love your family ❤

You didn’t have to do this, so I believe you. I’m 54 this year 4 years out from my divorce, I have two sons. They don’t talk to me anymore. I don’t even have a truck anymore. I got a shit ton of tools two guitars and a banjo, 3 spirals full of heart break songs. I can’t get out of this funk. And nothing I did before matters . Good for you Adam and your adorable family. I’m jealous. God bless you, and yours. Later…….

Sounds like a come to Jesus moment mixed in with a bit of repentance was had in this story.. good to hear brother.. keep fighting the good fight..ALWAYS.. you know what is at stake.. stand firm stay strong and keep vigilant.. cheers and God bless from a PureBlood Canadian 👍🙂❤🇨🇦

You're so lucky you found her, Adam. That's a great woman you have there.

A baby boy... FOR REAL😱 I couldn't be more happy for you and Marjorie. Thank you for sharing your wonderful news with us😊 I am so glad that Marjorie didn't leave you Adam. She's devoted and loves you beyond the moon and stars. It is her that helped form the Adam that I enjoy and very much respect. Thank you so much for sharing your life experiences with us Adam. I enjoy hearing about how you got where your currently at😊 More life stories would be great👍Much love to the entire Calhoun family💜💜💜💜

Love these stories, Adam. You, your life, your past, your family… it’s all very inspiring. Much ❤ and respect.

Those are the best women, I know I was one too. You made me cry. You are a great man! Congrats too!!

What this county needs is alot of good DAd s nobody said it was easy but someday when your a granddad thats one Hell of a feeling.

So fuckin' amazing man! It's easy to see that you appreciate what you have now, as far as your amazing family. Take care always brother!

We’ll most likely never meet. However, you’ve been such a great inspiration in many ways brother. Our first daughter/child will be 13 months this Friday. My wife is everything and I by far grabbed the moon with her. Just know we all got your back. We’re proud of you. 👊🏻

Jesus will fill the void and nothing can make you ceeo empty again. Things will happen still and hurt. But the emptiness never returns. I can't explain it any other way then when i gave my life to Jesus everything changed.

Nobody is perfect and just because your "Adam Calhoun" doesn't shield you from that your human we do make mistakes and it does take a man to admit to those mistakes. I've been a big fan of your music you sing from the heart and don't sugar coat anything I will always be one of your biggest fan and supporter. Your wife is a good woman and you was right about most women would left cause they would but I believe everything happens for a reason no matter what you have done that woman was put in your life for a reason so cherish her and your family and congratulations on the new baby ❤❤

A lot of us went through this, brother. My wife is the reason for my survival and getting out of bed because she saved me from that. Semper Fi to your boy 👍🏻. Didn't know he was in.

Adam Your heart is pure...now and forever my friend ❣️ God Bless You and your beautiful family 🙏🙏🙏

May the Lord ALWAYS Bless you and give you the strength you need. The same with your beautiful family! God Bless

Yeshua is the only one that could fill that void.

Bro…..BRO!!! Man you said it, everything, probably more than most men would care to admit. I’m proud of you. Truly. 💯. Thank you for the motivation, from a dedicated Marine. SFMF 🤘🏼🇺🇸

Thank you for this video man. I’ve had 1 woman stick by me through thick and thin for almost 20 years now and in raised her 5 year old as my own, he is about to be 20. We have a 4 year old son and I love my family yet that feeling you had that empty feeling is still there in me and I don’t know if it’s because of the things I’ve been through and the C-PTSD doesn’t make anything easier. All I’m saying is you’ve been a very big inspiration for me , your a really great man working on your day to day life. Just like me your still working on you, if you could give away some pointers that would be great! Thank you Adam truly for your music and your words, they always hit home.

I think you should make more!!!!!! Adam the more I read these the more I see my self, from the Alcohol falling iut cars my lady who I have been with stuck with me for the past 5 years and also got custody of my child . One thing I do is I work on myself everyday just like you said you do with yourself. Thank you Mr. Calhoun 🙏🇺🇲🇺🇸

I don't know why I stopped on this video that morning. I've never seen this guy - I don't think - anyhow.....this is a message all girls, ladies, strong women NEED TO HEAR

Congratulations on the new baby, that's awesome news!! I love stories like this! I love when people are able to accept themselves with all their flaws and manage to turn it all around. Hopefully others can learn from your stories and make the decision to better their lives as well ❤

This is beautiful, Adam. I'm so happy for you that you are growing your family and have such a wonderful woman by your side. The path is not always pretty but seeing you change yours is truly inspiring. Thank you for sharing and giving others hope that it can be turned around with hard work. 🇺🇸 ❤

Adam you made me cry! Margie is a queen

You're getting there Adam. Christ is the answer. Have a talk and invite him into your heart and your world will change. God will get rid of your anger.

Good women are hard to come by now a days. You found that diamond in the rough. This was a very much needed inspirational video that I needed to see. I’ve been on the same path. Thanks Adam!

My brother... Thank you for your testimony, it will definitely change someone's life, takes a strong man to open up like this.. We're sinners, all of us, that's the way God designed us, we fail Him each and every day yet He forgives us our sins.. Keep on keeping on, brother, you're doing amazing things and God, along with the rest of us, has your six.. God Bless you and your amazing family, Jesus loves you.! 🙏🏻❤️👊🏻

Thank you for that story Adam. It takes a real man to admit his wrongs especially to the whole world. Love you bro.

When a man admits his mistakes,his sins, and so forth he then becomes a hero, a Shepard that helps others see the light of goodness that makes a man rich

We are getting you sir ty keep it up it helps🎉
