“Do not let other people's fear overwhelm you. Don't let other people's fear of you make you afraid of yourself. Be cautious, of course. Be prudent. Be wise. Give yourself time to recover from this or that. Take counsel with others. Be in a group, if you like, to support you. But I tell you, it is so important to understand the gospel.”
Picture this: you're struggling with addiction, and instead of support, you face judgment from those around you.

Whether you're battling addiction or supporting someone who is, Colin's insights offer a fresh perspective on living a life filled with grace and personal identity.
