Empowered Living

It has been said that every journey begins with a single step, and for many

who battle addiction, that step can feel heavier than any they have ever

taken. It takes courage to admit a need, humility to ask for help, and faith to

believe that life can be different. The pages that follow are not written by

someone looking in from the outside, but by a voice that has walked the long

road of recovery-facing its setbacks, celebrating its victories, and learning

how faith makes freedom possible.

Empowered Living is more than a collection of lessons. It is a roadmap drawn

from lived experience, time-tested truths, and a faith that has proven strong

enough to carry the weight of struggle. With over two decades of sobriety,

the author writes not with theory but with testimony. He understands the

feelings of emptiness, the cycles of relapse, and the wounds that often drive

people to numb their pain. But he also understands what happens when

God's grace meets human weakness: chains are broken, identities are

restored, and new life begins.

Here you will not be asked to chase an abstract "higher power." Instead, you

are invited to meet the very Source of power-Jesus Christ. These lessons

weave biblical truth into practical recovery principles clearly,

compassionately, and accessibly. Each page is designed to help you build a

solid foundation, embrace forgiveness, walk in a relationship with God, and

discover the true freedom of living Spirit-empowered.

If you are willing to come with an open heart and a teachable spirit, you will

discover that you are not alone. The same God who spoke the world into

existence can speak peace into your storm. The same Savior who lifted

others from brokenness is ready to lift you as well. Take these lessons

seriously. Apply them. Pray through them. Let them reshape how you see

yourself and how you see God.
