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.

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.

Who left who?

Those living in addiction are alive, but they’re not LIVING! Are you? This is a harsh truth. It’s not easy to go on with life when they’re stuck fighting chronic substance use. You have to choose how you’ll spend your days and time. You’re worth living!

You are loved. In your mess, in your darkest moment, in your sin. You are loved and wanted. This episode talks about sin and our redemption. It talks about never being so far from God that He can't reach you. Addiction is powerful, I get it, but it still doesn't touch the power of God. So, give me a moment to explain why God loves people like you.

Today's episode is a discussion of lost faith in the battle of recurrent trauma caused by addiction. Realigning our hope and heart with God and letting go can ignite our faith even though the situation doesn't change. Living in peace through the warzone of addiction is possible when we hold on to Jesus and let go of the world.
