It is time to change the way the world looks at how we recover, and the role faith plays!
What happens when a rock star trades the stage for the pulpit? In this episode of 'The Sober Truth', George Wood chats with Stephen Christian, the former lead singer of Anberlin, who now serves as a pastor at Grace Family Church in Tampa, Florida. Stephen opens up about his transformation from a life dominated by music and fame to one grounded in faith and service.
He shares candid stories about his struggles with addiction and mental health, offering a raw look into the pressures of the entertainment industry and how it impacts one's well-being. Stephen's journey is not just about leaving behind a rockstar lifestyle; it's about finding purpose and healing through faith. He discusses the importance of honesty and vulnerability, both in his music and his ministry, and how these qualities have helped him connect deeply with others.
Through initiatives like the Timothy Initiative and the Silver Truth Project, Stephen is working to change perceptions around addiction and mental health, advocating for a compassionate, faith-based approach to recovery. If you're curious about how someone can pivot from the highs of rock stardom to the profound depths of pastoral care, this episode is a must-listen. It's an inspiring tale of redemption, community, and the enduring power of faith.
