Today on the Well + Nourished podcast, we were joined by Lindsay's brother, Patrick Link. His story of addiction to redemption is a powerful one. Patrick has experienced the struggle and hardships that come along with years of drug abuse and dealing, but he is now clean and has been working in the rehab ministry that helped him turn his life around. He has spoken at high schools, colleges, and in churches. His story is impactful and we hope that his sharing can help families who are dealing with addiction. Patrick also shares some advice for parents who want to be more informed as they raise their kids in a world where alcohol and drugs are powerful strongholds on so many. The verse that helped him tremendously during his journey to health was Romans 8:18, which says "For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us."
