Faith, Coffee, and Recovery: The McMurry Family's Inspiring Journey
I can tell you from experience before CJ and I worked together, being a single mom is hard. That's so good, I mean- and that's the theme of psalm, the relational carrying hand of the Lord, and what you just described is an expression of that- by the body of Christ ministering to these, the men, but the men's families and the people that still have to carry on, like you said, all the finances, all the bills, the kids, and all the different things that go on, and ministering to them in a way that you know the Lord is my shepherd.
What happens when a coffee shop becomes a sanctuary for those battling addiction? In this episode of 'The Addiction Connection Podcast', Misty and CJ McMurry open up about their unique approach to addiction recovery. As the managers of The Cellar, a cozy coffee house in Winterset, Iowa, they’ve created more than just a place to grab a cup of joe.

CJ and Misty share their roles at The Refuge, a residential program dedicated to helping men overcome addiction. They delve into the intertwining relationships between their church, Redeemer, The Refuge, and The Cellar.
