What drives someone to find joy and healing through faith? In episode 467 of 'The Way Out Podcast,' Dave Johnson and Cherish Flowers share their incredible stories of recovery and transformation. Both guests are part of Lost Sheep Ministries International, where they dedicate themselves to helping others find freedom from addiction. Dave, who grew up with an alcoholic father, has been serving the recovery community for over 25 years, while Cherish is passionate about eradicating homelessness and addiction. Their secret?
Running to God for solace and strength. Cherish, who battled methamphetamine addiction and codependency, shares how her recovery journey began on July 5th, 2020. Her drug of choice might have been methamphetamines, but plugging into the church has been her lifeline. Dave recounts his own struggles with substance use, influenced by his father's alcoholism, and the turning point that led him to a life dedicated to helping others.
Listeners will be moved by their stories of hope, community, and the power of faith in overcoming life's toughest challenges. From embracing pain to finding solace in prayer, this episode offers a glimpse into the transformative journey that both Dave and Cherish have embarked upon. With songs like 'The Blood' by Bethel Music and 'Black Sheep' by Ben Fuller symbolising their recovery, music plays a significant role in their healing process.
So, how can faith bring joy and healing into your life? Tune in to hear how Dave and Cherish's unwavering dedication to serving others and their deep connection with God has shaped their paths to recovery. Could running to God be the answer you've been seeking?
