I went through everything I went through in order to help people to spread God's message that there is hope, there is a way out.
Imagine going from the roar of the crowd as a Division 1 athlete to the silence of a lonely cell. That's the incredible journey of Troy Hilpp, who shares his story in this episode of 'The Real HopeCast'. Raised in Louisville, Troy's high school basketball success paved the way for a promising college career. But behind the scenes, he was grappling with substance abuse, starting with marijuana and later alcohol.
He describes himself as a 'chameleonaire', blending into different environments while struggling with pride and ego. The turning point came when he hit rock bottom in a lonely cell, where he surrendered to God and found a new sense of purpose. Now a staffer at Isaiah House, Troy talks about the importance of surrounding himself with positive influences and recovery-oriented people, including his daily conversations with his sponsor. He emphasizes letting God guide his path rather than relying on self-promotion.
Troy also touches on the challenges of loving an addict, a topic he's writing a book about. Isaiah House Treatment Centers focus on holistic recovery, helping individuals rebuild their lives and reconnect with their families. This episode is a testament to the power of redemption and the importance of community support in overcoming addiction.
