In this episode of In the Circle, I am joined by Bernice, a distinguished addiction counselor and fellow traveler in long-term recovery. She inquires: How Can I Inspire Others Into Addiction Recovery? We dive deep into the complex world of individuals battling severe addiction issues compounded by intergenerational trauma, homelessness, and a profound sense of hopelessness. We also explore what it means to inspire recovery and hope in those who feel forgotten by society, and possible solutions we can offer.

Hello friends! This week, our Bible study leader, Andrew, shares his story of how he encountered Jesus.Although he grew up in a family that attended church, Andrew tried to seek faith on his own and as a teenager, he ended up turning his back on God.He called himself an atheist and really wrestled with some tough questions:Does life have any meaning?What happens when we die?Is love real or just chemical reactions?Did God create the world?How can God be real if there is so much suffering?Through some “coincidences,” Andrew was able to wrestle with answers to those questions with a Christian friend. Not only did he find truth in God, but he discovered that “the God of the universe loves me, a broken sinner.”  After giving his life to Jesus, Jesus changed (& is still changing) Andrew over time…from being selfish to loving others from being a broken sinner to being saved & set freefrom searching for meaning to life making sensefrom being unsure about life after death to having hope in eternal lifeLooking at his life now, Andrew realizes that life is so much more than what he used to think: “it's not fate, it's not accidental, there's a beautiful story being written with my life - all the broken pieces are being put into this beautiful water and it's making something extremely beautiful, interesting out of something that was such a mess, out of such a messy person.” Without God, nothing makes sense. “We can't make sense of anything as humans on earth without God.”And the gospel is not just that Jesus died for our sins, but we have the hope of an eternal future with God for those who believe. “Christianity without the resurrection, is not Christianity… Jesus has made a way for us to live with Him for eternity.” Do you know Jesus personally? Not sure where to start? Feel free to send us a message on Facebook or Instagram @lifeishardGodisgoodpodcastThanks for listening to the Life is Hard, God is Good Podcast! Be sure to rate, write reviews, and share with your friends to help others find this encouragement!Have a great week!

We're excited to introduce our new series, Ask the Expert, where your host, Ashley Loeb Blassingame, exchanges views with and picks the brains of industry leading experts. Our first episode of the series features Dr. Adi Jaffe.Adi Jaffe, Ph.D. is a #1 best-selling author and a nationally recognized expert on mental health, addiction, relationships and shame. He lectured in the UCLA Psychology department for the better part of a decade and was the Executive-Director and Co-Founder of one of the most progressive mental health treatment facilities in the country - until he started IGNTD.Dr. Jaffe, through IGNTD, is changing the way people think about, and deal with mental health issues. His passion in the role of shame destroying lives is the philosophy behind IGNTD Recovery and its aim to greatly reduce the stigma of addiction and mental health. Dr. Jaffe attended UCLA, graduating with a B.A. in psychology. It was during his undergraduate career that Adi began struggling with drug issues himself, eventually leading to a 4 year hiatus from studies and into the Los Angeles drug-dealing world where he became quite successful. During that period of his life, Adi's days looked more like a re-enactment of a beatnik novel or a Quentin Tarantino film than the life of an upper-middle class suburban kid. Following a SWAT team arrest in his apartment, and extended court case and a year-long jail sentence, Adi began rebuilding his life. This eventually led to his attainment of a Ph.D. from UCLA's top-rated doctoral program in psychology, where he graduated with honors. Even before he graduated Dr. Jaffe's name had become known through his online and academic writing. His views on addiction and his research on the topic have been published in dozens of journals and online publications and he has appeared on numerous television shows and documentaries discussing current topics in addiction and the problem of addiction as a whole.Dr. Jaffe now writes a blog on Psychology Today, and several other online and print sources. His goal is to bring the latest knowledge about addiction to the people who could benefit from it most – those who are suffering because of it. His writing combines personal experience with a decade's worth of fine-detail research regarding the mechanisms involved in the addictive process. Dr. Jaffe has been featured in CNN, The Huffington Post, Bustle, Los Angeles Times, KTLA.Episode ResourcesDr. Jaffe's Book | The Abstinence MythIGNTD | Hero ProgramConnect with Dr. Adi JaffeDr. Jaffe's Instagram | @dradijaffeIGNTD Instagram | @igntd.meIGNTD Website | igntd.comConnect with Us  at The Courage to ChangePodcast Website | lionrock.life/couragetochangepodcastPodcast Instagram | @couragetochange_podcastPodcast Facebook | @thecouragetochangepodcastPodcast Email | podcast@lionrock.lifeLooking for Online Support?Lionrock.life provides a variety of aa meetings and aa alternative meetings via Zoom.

Raised in a small town in Nova Scotia, Canada, Craig Pothier loved playing sports. Excelling at hockey and baseball gave him the confidence he needed to fit in as a child. When he transitioned from elementary school to high school, he realized that people cared more about partying than sports. He quickly discovered that alcohol gave him the self-esteem boost he needed.At the age of 27, after moving from Canada to New York City, a town of millions, he found himself frequenting bars to make friends. When he was on the cusp of losing his job and his sanity, at the age of 36, he finally checked into a rehab facility and began a recovery journey that took time, perseverance, and courage. Craig now resides in Austin, TX and has dedicated his life to helping others as a Sober Life Coach at Mind Uncaged where he helps people clear a path to an alcohol free life without limits.Episode ResourcesLionrock's CommUnity Meetings | lionrock.life/meetingsConnect with Craig PothierCraig's Website | minduncaged.comCraig's Instagram |  @mind.uncagedConnect with Us  at The Courage to ChangePodcast Website | lionrock.life/couragetochangepodcastPodcast Instagram | @couragetochange_podcastPodcast Facebook | @thecouragetochangepodcastPodcast Email | podcast@lionrock.lifeLooking for Online Support?Lionrock.life provides a variety of aa meetings and aa alternative meetings via Zoom.

His experience includes supporting three major hospital emergency rooms in Boston and helping patients with substance abuse and related complications.
