How God Uses Your Past to Prepare You for Purpose: Hope Is Alive with Gretchen Moran
Description
Sometimes following God means releasing something you love to step into what He has next. Returning guest Gretchen Moran (Episode 19 & 20) shares how God led her from “spinning ten plates” into a faith-filled role with Hope Is Alive, a Christ-centered addiction recovery nonprofit. Gretchen opens up about empty nest life, sacred quiet seasons, and how God used her leadership, relationships, and painful past to prepare her. Discover Christian recovery homes, peer-led recovery, Finding Hope family support groups, Hope After Loss, and practical resources for those impacted by addiction.
