At The End Of The Day, that's really what we want to see is just: you know people you know transformed, you know into the image of christ and who he intends us to be.
Imagine a place where the healing power of nature meets the transformative strength of faith. In this episode of 'The Addiction Connection Podcast', hosts Dr. Mark E. Shaw and CJ McMurry welcome Jim Quigley and Pete Higgs to share the inspiring stories behind two unique addiction recovery programs, Freedom Farm and Renovatus. Both programs offer more than just a path to sobriety—they provide a way of life that fosters growth, humility, and community through farm work and biblical counseling.
Jim Quigley, who leads Freedom Farm Ministries in North Carolina, and Pete Higgs, who founded Renovatus in Tennessee, discuss the daily challenges and immense rewards of their ministries. They delve into how farm life instills a sense of responsibility and purpose in men struggling with addiction. The conversation also touches on the impact of COVID-19 on their programs, highlighting how they've adapted to continue offering support during these trying times.
Listeners will hear about the origins of these ministries, the journey from mere restoration to true transformation, and the profound role of testimonies in inspiring others. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in how faith and hard work can lead to lasting change.
