035 Reclaiming Recovery: Christian Community that Leads to Healing
What difference can it make when someone simply takes an interest in a person who is struggling? In this conversation, Joe McCormack and John Conway reflect on their journeys through addiction and recovery, and the unexpected impact of people who chose to care about him even when his life was falling apart. Their stories are a powerful reminder that recovery rarely begins with programs or systems—it often begins with relationships. Through interviews with pastors, cultural historians, and people in recovery, we’re asking a bigger question: What role should the church play in bringing hope and healing to communities facing addiction? John and Joe’s story is one small window into that larger conversation. 🎧 Listen to the full conversation on our podcast (Releasing March 10, 2026): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...
