Finding Freedom: Justin Lakemacher on Worship and Recovery at Redemption House

I think if you look at idolatry and enslavement, you really find all the dynamics that are happening in the addict's heart. That that's the fundamental thing that's happening in the addict's heart.
What if worship could be the key to overcoming addiction? In this episode of 'The Addiction Connection Podcast', Dr. Mark E. Shaw sits down with Justin Lakemacher, the Program Director of Redemption House in Minnetrista, Minnesota. Redemption House isn't just any recovery program; it's a place where biblical teachings and Gospel principles form the foundation of the journey to sobriety.
Justin shares the ministry's unique slogan, 'worshipping our way out of addiction', and explains how this approach helps transform hearts and minds. He opens up about his own redemption story, guided by his life verse, Romans 8:1, and details how cultivating a deep affection for God can replace the harmful cravings that lead to addiction.
Justin also talks about the practical aspects of the program, like integrating residents into a local church and the structured phases that support their transition back into everyday life. He doesn't shy away from discussing the personal challenges he faces in his role, emphasizing the importance of having a supportive community and taking time to recharge.
Whether you're seeking inspiration for your own recovery journey or looking to support a loved one, this episode offers a fresh perspective on finding freedom through faith.
