Addiction and Trusting the God Who Heals: Dawn Ward E88

Dawn Ward's story has been shaped by addictions of loved ones, beginning in her childhood and later affecting two of her children as well as her husband. God not only miraculously healed her husband but also rescued her from overwhelming guilt and shame and an obsessive tendency to “fix” the people in her family. I’m so inspired by her deep trust in God through some very hard surrenders and the beautiful discovery that God is faithful—even in the most broken places. She’s the author of From Guilt to Grace: Hope and Healing for Christian Moms of Addicted Children.
