It's so good to be able to just social media and everything we have today at our disposal. Today you can listen to this podcast and get an AA meeting in.
Picture finding a place where everyone truly gets what you're going through. In this episode of Friends in Recovery, hosts Jersey Ed and Mike the Podfather sit down with Scott McBean, the pastor of Northstar Community in Richmond, VA. Northstar isn't just any recovery group; it's a sanctuary for those who've faced addiction, trauma, mental illness, and more. Scott's journey with Northstar began in his youth, and he brings a wealth of experience and compassion to the table.
With a BS in Business Management, a Master’s of Divinity, and currently pursuing a Master’s in Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling, Scott is well-equipped to guide others on their recovery paths. The conversation dives into how community and faith play crucial roles in healing, the hurdles posed by insurance companies, and how social media can be a double-edged sword in recovery efforts. This episode isn't just about recovery; it's about finding your tribe and the power of shared experiences.
Tune in to feel inspired and gain a deeper understanding of how community can be a cornerstone in the journey to sobriety.
