In this episode of 'Hope in Recovery', Rodney Holmstrom chats with Pastor Brian Trent from Lighthouse Church in South Carolina about the transformative power of Celebrate Recovery (CR). Pastor Trent shares his journey from starting a small Bible study with local alcoholics to establishing a thriving CR programme that has significantly impacted his church and community. The conversation touches on the challenges and rewards of integrating recovery principles into church life, especially during tough times like the COVID-19 pandemic.
Pastor Trent emphasises the importance of addressing personal struggles openly, even as a leader, and how this transparency can foster stronger relationships within the church. He also highlights the significance of not focusing on attendance numbers but rather on the individual lives being changed through CR. With anecdotes about personal growth and community transformation, this episode is both inspiring and practical for anyone involved in or considering Celebrate Recovery.
