From overdose to loss of relationships, children, jobs, and homes—parents witness so much. It is accepting our powerless nature in a war we are not in that is a challenge. It feels like it’s our war because it’s our child. It’s not. We want to save them, but we are not their life raft.

The story of Spiritual Battles and addiction. Where we were and where we remain today.

For all those who have lost a loved one to addiction, we take a moment for you.

There is always a point of desperation when things turn, and surrender becomes inevitable. Journey through me from point A to Z on a road we never imagined we’d be in and a situation that takes every ounce of your willpower to surrender.

The journey from holding on so tight out of fear to letting go out of love- for you. The challenge of letting them make their decisions and accepting you have no control.

For all those who battled cancer valiantly and found victory on the other side.

For all those who battled cancer valiantly and found victory on the other side.

This episode is a reflection back to the time just before I began my recovery. There is anger, bitterness, pain, acceptance, and resolve here. I began to confront some hard truth within myself, and it was HARD! If you’re in that place, know you are not alone.

Recovery is possible! I will never doubt that. Our minds are stronger than any addiction, even substance use. The brain can be healed by new mindsets and thought patterns. Are you willing to do the work and be your own boss?

If you are lost watching your loved one battling substance use, please take a great minute to remember 1) You’re not alone. 2) God has your back far better than anyone else 3) Peace is possible through Christ Jesus.
