Light in the Darkness

LITD Flashback - Episode 36: This Is Not Who You Are


Listen Later

While away on their sabbatical, the boys invite you to listen to this episode featuring their reflections on its significance.
_________________________________________________________________

The boys are joined by Brandon Sanders, Lead Pastor & Executive Director of the Wings of Life, a faith-based addiction recovery center in Mobile, AL. 

When he was a child, Brandon’s father murdered his mother. He was then placed in a “Christian” foster family where he and his sisters were abused. Brandon walked away from these traumatic events believing that God hated him, and he turned to drug addiction to cope. After 20 years of addiction, Brandon was prepared to end his life one night. After checking into a motel and getting drunk, Brandon began screaming at God and venting a lifetime worth of hurt and rage. At some point he collapsed and told God that he wanted to know Him. It was then that Brandon felt as if God wrapped him in an embrace and took Brandon in as his son.

Brandon then sought treatment for his addiction, and came to the same center that he now directs. The Lord has given Brandon a mantle for finding fatherless men, and the message that God wants to be their Father.

Along the way, Brandon shares testimonies of lives he has witnessed the Lord impact. Lives that were saved from addiction, broken belief systems, and flawed identity.
