In this deeply moving episode of The Recovery Vow Podcast, Eric sits down with the Wingate family—Brooke, Garrett, and their son Davis—to share their powerful story of faith after the unthinkable loss of their 19-year-old son, Garen. Together, they open up about the night of the accident, the heartbreak of unanswered questions, and how they found peace through faith, community, and God’s undeniable presence in their pain.

Brooke courageously recounts the moment that changed their lives forever and how she has learned to lean on God instead of trying to understand the “why.” Garrett reflects on what it means to lead his family through tragedy while holding onto hope, and Davis shares how music became his outlet for healing after losing his brother.

This raw and faith-filled conversation reminds us that recovery isn’t always about addiction—it’s also about loss, surrender, and the long road of trusting God through heartbreak. The Wingates’ story is a testament to how love and faith can transform grief into a legacy of hope.
