Addiction and Mental health

In a world where addiction is prevalent, it’s important to hear stories of hope and redemption. Brother Wolf’s journey of overcoming addiction and finding purpose in helping others is inspiring. He shares how he had multiple arrests for addiction-related crimes and was misdiagnosed with bipolar and manic-depressive disorder. However, a spiritual awakening and seeking help led him to break the cycle of addiction and become a pastor of an organization that helps the broken and battered in their communities.

One key takeaway from Brother Wolf’s story is his preference for the term “redeemed” over “recovered.” He believes that recovery implies a constant struggle, whereas redemption means being made new and starting fresh. His analogy of a car with a windshield and rearview mirror is a great reminder that we have a choice of what to focus on while moving forward. Brother Wolf chooses to be brand new and redeemed.

Another important point Brother Wolf emphasizes is the theme of identity and how it relates to knowing who we are as men and women of God. He believes that we have forgotten the importance of being in a relationship with God and that following the laws should be designed to bring us closer to who we are created to be.
