In this heartfelt episode of The Addiction Connection Podcast, Aaron Riesner shares his powerful journey of transformation during National Recovery Month. Aaron's story begins in a tumultuous childhood, marked by his parents' divorce and frequent relocations. Raised in a Catholic household, his early experiences with religion were limited to attending Mass.
However, as he grew older, Aaron drifted away from the church and embraced the freedom of a teenager's life, only to find himself caught between different social circles in high school. Aaron's life took a pivotal turn when he was introduced to a church community through a group of friends and a high school crush.
His initial interest in attending church was driven by the desire to impress the girl he liked, but it quickly evolved into a genuine curiosity about faith. Hearing the gospel for the first time in a high school ministry setting, Aaron realised that his previous understanding of church and Christianity was incomplete. This newfound revelation ignited a deep desire to explore his relationship with God.
Reflecting on his journey, Aaron recognises that his quest for fulfillment through relationships was ultimately met by finding a relationship with God. His testimony highlights the importance of community and mentorship in his spiritual growth, as he recounts the numerous individuals who have invested in him over the years. Now, as a mentor himself at Damascus House, Aaron finds joy in guiding others towards Jesus and helping them overcome their own struggles with addiction.
This episode is a testament to the transformative power of faith and the enduring impact of supportive relationships. Aaron's story serves as an inspiring reminder that no matter where you start, there is always hope for a better future. Tune in to hear Aaron's full testimony and be encouraged by his journey of redemption and renewal.
