Rebellion to Redemption: Andrew & Kat Held's Inspiring Journey
I think that brings in the uniqueness of what I was saying earlier about each one of the staff members because the fact that Drew's doing addictions counseling, like I think it was said yesterday- who said it like you can't expect the kids to come, they're not going to go through unless you've been through it.
What happens when two lives take a dramatic turn from rebellion to redemption? In this episode of The Addiction Connection Podcast, Andrew and Kat Held share their remarkable transformation stories. Once entrenched in a life of defiance and addiction, they now dedicate themselves to guiding troubled teens towards hope and healing at Salem4Youth Ranch in Illinois.
Andrew, who serves as an addiction counselor and Associate Pastor, and Kat, a Risk Management Specialist for Youth for Christ, open up about their paths to faith and how their personal struggles have shaped their ministry. They delve into the day-to-day life at the ranch, offering a glimpse into the structured yet compassionate environment that helps mend broken lives.
Through their heartfelt testimonies, you'll hear about the pivotal moments that led to their spiritual awakenings and how they now use their experiences to support others on similar journeys. This episode is a testament to the power of faith and perseverance, providing a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is.
