In this heartwarming episode of Get In The Herd, McShin CEO Honesty Liller sits down with Marti Williams, a devoted Jesus follower and founder of the faith-based non-profit Into the Neighborhood. Marti shares her personal journey of growing up with a parent struggling with alcoholism and her mission to help others in similar situations. She discusses her work in Richmond, Virginia, where she moved nearly 20 years ago, facing drug deals on every corner and street crime that seemed relentless.
Her faith and commitment to loving her neighbour have driven her to create a supportive community for those battling substance use disorder (SUD). Marti's efforts extend to the Richmond City Jail, where she and her team provide essential items like bras and underwear to incarcerated women, restoring their dignity and self-worth. They also run Jobs for Life, a biblically based work prep programme that helps people find and keep jobs, promoting long-term success.
Marti’s approach is all about creating a safe, loving environment where people can heal and grow. Honesty and Marti also touch on the importance of different recovery pathways, recognising that faith might not resonate with everyone. They highlight the need for diverse support systems to cater to individual needs. Marti’s story is a testament to the power of compassion and community in recovery.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the profound impact of faith-based initiatives on recovery. Marti’s dedication to helping others is truly inspiring, offering hope and practical solutions for those struggling with addiction. Tune in to hear how love, faith, and community can transform lives.
