This unique approach focuses on heart-centred, Christ-centred recovery, encouraging individuals to honour God in every aspect of their lives.
Listeners are left with powerful insights into the role of spirituality in addiction recovery, emphasising that true satisfaction comes from a relationship with Christ. With humour and heartfelt anecdotes, this episode offers a fresh perspective on recovery that might just change how you view addiction. Could faith be the missing piece in your recovery journey?
