Recovery is a journey, and it's not going to be perfect, but it's worth it.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their life around after years of battling addiction and trauma? In this episode of 'Relational Recovery', hosts Wes Thompson and Austin Hill sit down with Jordan Fillmore, an alumni of The Refuge Ministry, to hear his incredible story.

His message is clear: recovery is tough, but it's possible and absolutely worth it. Tune in to hear Jordan's full story and find inspiration for your own journey or that of a loved one.
