Hosts Kathryn and Paul sit down with guest Angela Yaeger to trace her life from childhood sexual abuse and abandonment through progressive substance use, meth‑induced psychosis, jail, and ultimately a Christ‑centered recovery at the Home of Grace. Angela shares candid memories of shame, running, and the turning point that led her into rehab and long‑term discipleship.
Conversation topics include mental health and trauma, the mechanics of addiction and relapse, receiving love and learning to trust again, forgiveness (including toward her father), the role of mentors and community, and practical steps Angela took—surrender, accountability, and service—that helped her stay rooted. She also discusses training as a counselor and how her story now informs her work helping others.
Listeners can expect an honest, hope-filled episode that acknowledges the messiness of recovery while highlighting how faith, community, and perseverance can lead to transformation and purpose.
