He stated that he wanted "the fame, fortune, popularity, prestige and the girls and the fast cars and the money." Helm said he began using and selling drugs, including steroids, and that "on the outside I look great but on the inside I was a wreck." He recounted meeting a woman at a fitness center who invited him to church, where he heard a preacher speaking about having a personal relationship with Jesus. Helm said he became a Christian, got off drugs, and later married that woman, with whom he has five children. In a 2020 podcast appearance, Helm discussed topics including love, relationships, and personal conduct. He stated that "love produce love, hate produce hate" and argued that unconditional love does not require tolerating destructive behavior, saying "if you lying to me what that produce a feeling of hate." He also commented on dating dynamics, asserting that "so many men nowadays validate that you ain't got to come with no substances, that's all it looks," and recalled a past saying that "it ain't the beauty, it's the duty."
“I was raised in a great moral home.”
“Growing up I wanted to be the biggest and strongest and frankly I didn't care who I had to run over to make that happen.”
“I thought maybe that was my ticket to have all the fame, fortune, popularity, prestige and the girls and the fast cars and the money and that's what I wanted.”
“I was not only using drugs — I started selling drugs, I was using steroids and selling steroids; things got really, really dark but on the outside I looked great but on the inside I was a wreck.”
“At the fitness center in Marietta I met a young lady and she invited me to church, and I heard this guy preaching about Jesus — he was excited about this Jesus guy that I could have a personal relationship with.”
“A couple months later I made the most important decision of my life and became a Christian; I got off of all the drugs through the Lord's help and I got a Lord, Savior, father, friend, daddy and a king in heaven to an abundant life.”
“Seven months later that lady who invited me to church has been my wife for almost 28 years, we've had five beautiful children and now he's allowed me the opportunity to go out and share the gospel with others.”
