This week’s topic is inspired by Charlie who shared his warstory with us. Charlie grew up in the room’s having had a father who was an alcoholic but it wasn’t enough to keep him from venturing into drugs and alcohol himself. Homeless and shamelessly addicted, tune in to hear how he was able to see God doing for him what he was unable to do for himself.

Charlie worked to become an addiction counselor and works for Brighton Recovery here in Northern Utah and also has his own private practice. His journey is an inspiration and we’re honored to share it!
