In this episode of Real Recovery, you'll hear the heartwarming and compelling story of Dave Johnson, founder of Lost Sheep Ministries International. Dave's journey is one marked by faith, resilience, and a deep commitment to helping those who have strayed find their way back to hope and healing.
Growing up in a tumultuous home where alcoholism cast a long shadow, Dave's life took a transformative turn when he committed himself to Christ. Now, his mission is to reach out to the 'lost sheep'—those battling addiction and searching for redemption. Dave's approach is simple yet profound: listen to God and act on His guidance. Whether it's driving hundreds of miles to rescue someone in crisis or offering a compassionate ear at 3 a.m., Dave's dedication is unwavering.
The episode is filled with anecdotes that highlight the power of community and the importance of having a support system in recovery. Dave shares insights on how the 12-step programme, deeply rooted in biblical principles, can be a lifeline for those seeking sobriety. The conversation also touches on the challenges and heartbreaks inherent in ministry work, yet it underscores the joy found in witnessing lives transformed.
With humour and humility, Dave reflects on his own path and the unexpected blessings that have come his way, including a Victorian house turned women's sober living home. This episode is a testament to the impact one person can have when they follow their calling. So, are you ready to be inspired by a story of faith in action? Tune in to hear how Dave Johnson is making a difference, one lost sheep at a time.
