But it's just as you did the right thing. And that was, that was what got me into scripture. And you know, reading through the bible myself in A Year, not too long ago, and I know that these women are going to get the same thing out of this, because when you fall in love with the scripture, you get your go-to and you go to it for peace, you go for it, or when you're hurting, when you're joyful, it's all there, and I just love that you're going to be showing these women that.
Have you ever felt like you were living a double life, hiding your struggles behind a mask? In this episode of 'She Surrenders - The Podcast', Sherry Hoppen sits down with Debbie, a friend and admin of Joyful Surrender, to share her deeply personal journey from alcoholism to recovery through faith. Debbie opens up about how she was initially hesitant to join a Bible study because she was still drinking.
Despite her fears, she felt a divine nudge to participate, leading her down a path of spiritual awakening and eventual surrender. Throughout the conversation, Debbie discusses how she tried to maintain a facade of being the 'perfect Christian girl' while grappling with her addiction in secret. It wasn't until she fully surrendered to God that she began to find true peace and healing.
She talks about the significance of Ephesians 6:10-17 and how 'putting on the full armor of God' has been a cornerstone in her recovery. Debbie's story is a heartfelt testament to the power of faith and community in overcoming addiction. She emphasizes the importance of surrounding oneself with supportive people who understand the journey of recovery. This episode is filled with moments of vulnerability, inspiration, and hope, making it a must-listen for anyone facing similar battles.
Whether you're struggling with addiction or seeking encouragement in your faith journey, Debbie's story offers a beacon of hope and a reminder that surrendering to a higher power can lead to a life of freedom and fulfillment.
