From my perspective, as followers of the lord, we have an opportunity to minister...there's a real desperation to find something else. And I believe, in a pastoral context, we have something amazing, something else for them in our faith with the lord, but they don't know how to do it.
Picture this: a pastor who not only preaches but also battles the opioid epidemic head-on. In this episode of the Cover 2 Resources podcast, Pastor Greg Delaney opens up about his personal journey through addiction and how it has shaped his mission. As the faith collaborator for Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine’s Heroin/Outreach Unit, Pastor Delaney travels across the state, engaging with church communities and faith leaders to better address the opioid crisis.
He shares candid insights on breaking down the stigma surrounding addiction within religious circles and the power of faith-based recovery programs. Delaney emphasizes the importance of data collection to measure the effectiveness of these initiatives, highlighting how churches can become pivotal support systems for those struggling with addiction. This episode is a blend of hope and practicality, showing how faith communities can make a real difference in the fight against addiction.
Whether you're part of a faith community or simply interested in innovative approaches to tackling the opioid crisis, Pastor Delaney's story offers valuable perspectives and actionable ideas.
