Faith and Healing: A Priest's Take on Addiction Recovery

I'm really excited to see the ways that the church can act as the hands and feet of christ in the world in this area, because I just think that there are a lot of opportunities.
How does faith intersect with the journey to recovery? In this episode of the Landmark Recovery Podcast, host Zachary Crouch sits down with Reverend Emily Schwartz Crouch to unpack this compelling question. As both a priest and a licensed marriage and family therapist, Emily brings a rich blend of spiritual and therapeutic insights to the table. This conversation dives into the multifaceted role of the church in supporting those battling addiction.
You'll hear about music therapy as a powerful tool for healing, the importance of setting boundaries in pastoral care, and how the church can help dismantle stigma around addiction. Emily also emphasizes the need for action alongside prayer, sharing her thoughts on 12-step programs and community involvement. Whether you're seeking solace in faith or looking for practical ways to support someone in recovery, this episode offers a thoughtful perspective on the intersection of spirituality and sobriety.
