Addiction creates an atmosphere of chaos and fear, not just for those struggling with it, but also for their loved ones. How can we find hope in the midst of watching addiction affect our loved ones?
I am so grateful to have Dawn R. Ward as our guest on this episode of the Warfare Parenting Podcast. Dawn tells her story of being stuck in state of worry, shame, and fear because of her loved ones' addictions and self-destructive behaviors. She explains how the Lord worked through her to embrace her life even in the midst of watching her family struggle with addiction.
With that trust in God's power and love, she not only saw her family recover from the grips of addiction, but now works as a biblical mentor and faith coach for other moms through The Faith to Flourish ministry. Dawn shares that moms don't have to merely survive in the midst of trials in their lives, but they can find peace, hope and joy as they learn to thrive in every season of life.
