Episode notes

Part 2

Eli Yoder grew up in an Old Order Amish community in Kenton, Ohio, where strict rules forbade alcohol and drugs. But addiction doesn’t care about tradition, religion, or upbringing. His father battled alcoholism and depression, and after leaving the Amish, Eli spent 19 years following the same destructive path.

Everything changed when his wife gave him an ultimatum: alcohol or family. Facing the loss of his marriage and son, Eli surrendered his life to Jesus Christ. Through faith and Scripture, he broke free from alcohol addiction and now shares his testimony to help others overcome addiction and generational trauma.
