“5 Things I Wish You Knew About Drug Addicted People” - Hope for the Journey Podcast, Not An Episode 01

Leaving the 99 in search of the 1, welcome to the Hope For The Journey Podcast.

Unfortunately, for too long in America, the church has taken the role of absentee partner to the families of prodigals. On Hope for the Journey, you will meet those who have walked the prodigal path, the loved ones who've drifted in a sea of emotions calling on God to return their prodigal home, and those who have heard the call of Christ to leave the 99 in search of the one. Welcome to our Journey. We pray you find encouragement and answers, solace and community, but most of all the only hope for the journey… the hope of Christ.

I used to have some very strong–and unbiblical–views on drug addiction and especially of “drug addicts”. I now have strong views on drug addiction and “drug addicts”, but these views are birthed from three years of having a drug addicted son (http://myhopejourney.co/why-dont-they-just-kill-him/) and all that goes with that: The feelings, the hope, the hopelessness, the fear, the faith, the friends, the family and all that God has taught us.

I would like to share with you 5 things I have learned about drug addicted people.
