What makes a recovery story truly inspiring? In this heartfelt episode, Bill and George welcome Terry to share his journey through addiction, relapse, and ultimately, healing. Terry's story is one of struggle, faith, and redemption. Raised in a pastor's home, Terry faced the challenges of feeling unnoticed and unworthy. Despite having eight years of sobriety, a dental procedure led him back to addiction. The episode explores how Terry navigated his way back to recovery with God's guidance.
Terry opens up about the pivotal moment when he nearly took his own life but was saved by a phone call from his wife. The conversation touches on the importance of acknowledging one's brokenness and the necessity of relying on Christ for true healing. With humour and sincerity, Bill and George discuss the pitfalls of self-reliance and the beauty of surrendering to God's will.
They remind listeners that recovery is more than just abstaining from substances; it's about addressing the pain that fuels addiction. Terry's story serves as a reminder that healing is possible and that God has a purpose for everyone, even in their darkest moments. If you're curious about how faith can transform lives or if you're seeking hope in your own journey, this episode is a must-listen.
