#45 - "I Got Into Counseling To Get Rich" (Brandon Bower and Dr. Shaw)

Picture this: you're lost in the throes of addiction, and the usual resources just aren't cutting it. Enter The Lighthouse, a unique men's transitional housing program founded by Brandon Bower. In this episode of 'The Addiction Connection Podcast', Dr. Mark E. Shaw sits down with Brandon to unpack the mission and transformative impact of The Lighthouse. Unlike your typical detox center, The Lighthouse offers a blend of faith and practical support, requiring participants to engage in four weekly activities.

These include a Biblical manhood group, a life skills group, a mentorship program, and church attendance on Sundays. Brandon shares his own story, from being a pastor's kid to his adult struggles and his unexpected path to becoming a biblical counselor. His journey is both inspiring and relatable, showing how faith can light the way through even the darkest times.

For those in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and beyond, The Lighthouse represents a beacon of hope, blending spiritual guidance with practical life skills to help men reclaim their lives from addiction.
