Effective leadership, William, it can transform individual lives. So we train faith leaders and I have to tell you, the rabbi has done things in our community here in Atlanta that has transformed the community well beyond judaism.
Imagine viewing addiction as a moral failing, only to realize it's a battle that requires compassion and understanding. Rabbi Schusterman once held this view but has since transformed his perspective and is now leading a movement to change how faith communities address addiction. In this compelling episode of 'Let's Talk Addiction & Recovery', host William C.
Moyers sits down with Rabbi Schusterman and Chris Thrasher from the Clinton Foundation to explore how faith leaders can play a pivotal role in disrupting the opioid epidemic. Rabbi Schusterman shares his journey from stigma to advocacy, revealing how his faith has become a cornerstone in his mission to support those struggling with addiction. He and Chris Thrasher discuss the power of redefining hope and integrating spirituality into recovery efforts.
They emphasize that hope isn't just a feel-good concept but a tangible force that can drive real change. The conversation dives into practical strategies faith leaders can use to foster collaboration and build partnerships that extend beyond religious boundaries. By working together, they believe communities can create a more supportive environment for those battling addiction. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of faith, hope, and recovery.
Whether you're part of a faith community or simply looking for ways to support loved ones facing addiction, you'll find valuable insights and inspiration in their discussion.
