My mission with the Courageous Recovery podcast is to save lives and allow the person to Reveal the Lifestyle Champion within them. While "Crushing the Stigma!"
My story may not look like yours.
But if it reminds you that you’re not alone, it’s worth telling.
That’s why I keep sharing. To spread hope. To shine light. To remind someone: There IS a way forward. #RecoveryJourney#FaithAndHealing
There’s healing in hearing someone else say, “Me too.”
It breaks down isolation.
It opens the door to connection.
And sometimes, that’s all it takes to start walking toward recovery. #RecoveryJourney#FaithAndHealing
Honesty can feel like the hardest thing to give.
But that’s the power of testimony.
When I share my story, I’m not just talking about myself.
I’m offering a hand to the person sitting in the dark, wondering if there’s a way out. #Testimony#RecoveryJourney#FaithAndHealing
In my testimony, I always make it a point to share the moments that broke me—and the ones that put me back together.
It’s not about perfection.
It’s about honesty. #Testimony#RecoveryJourney#FaithAndHealing
Here’s the truth:
If you’ve ever made a choice just to fit in, you’re not alone.
In my book God Took Me to Las Vegas to Get Sober, I share how God’s grace pulled me out of addiction and gave me new life.. #FaithJourney#Sobriety#GodsGrace
Peer pressure shapes us in ways we don’t always see.
One small choice can open the door to a much longer path.
For me, that first sip was the beginning of a struggle I fought for decades. #FaithJourney#Sobriety#GodsGrace
It wasn’t about the taste.
It was about the thrill.
Knowing it was wrong.
Feeling accepted.
That moment stayed with me.
What I didn’t know?
I’d tell myself “just one beer” for the next 24 years… and it was never just one. #FaithJourney#Sobriety#GodsGrace
I still remember the first time I reached for a bottle of beer.
It was in a small town in southwestern Minnesota.
A friend’s house.
A fridge full of Hamm’s beer bottles.
This time was different.
This was my bottle.
It made me feel cool, like I finally belonged. #FaithJourney
Today, you’re not the same.
You don’t chase the high—you chase purpose.
You walk in freedom.
You speak with boldness.
You give others the hope you once begged for. #Recovery#Faith#Hope#sobriety
And little by little, something started to change:
Peace.
Real peace.
Not from a bottle.
Not from a pill.
But from God walking beside you. #Recovery#Faith#Hope#sobriety
In the early days, every moment felt like a fight.
Waking up sober felt strange.
Laughter didn’t come easily.
Sleep was hard.
Trust was harder. #Recovery#Faith#Hope#sobriety
