Wes Thompson: Growing Up in a Legacy of Recovery

My dad was starting this thing and there wasn't a staff, there wasn't a support system.
Ever wondered what it's like to grow up surrounded by a mission of healing and recovery? In this episode of 'Relational Recovery', Wes Thompson takes us on a personal journey through his childhood at the Refuge Ministry, founded by his father. Wes opens up about the unique challenges his family faced and the limited support systems available during those early days.
Through his candid storytelling, you'll get a behind-the-scenes look at the dedication and hard work that went into building and sustaining a recovery program from the ground up. The episode also dives into how Wes's time at the Refuge shaped his life and values, offering a unique perspective on the ministry's impact. To top it off, Wes and the hosts discuss Tim Keller's book, 'Counterfeit Gods', exploring its relevance to addiction recovery.
