Today, Nancy Sabato sits down with Sherry Hoppen for a raw conversation about the hidden battles of addiction and the true meaning of **surrender**. Sherry shares how her struggle with alcoholism intertwined with life as a Christian leader—her turning point during a thousand-mile bike trip, the collapse afterward, and the deep shame that fueled her secrecy. She unpacks the moment of breakthrough on her living room floor, when surrendering to God restored her faith, freedom, and family.  

Key things viewers will learn:

- The danger of secret addiction even among high-achievers and believers

- Why true recovery begins when willpower is replaced by total surrender to God

- The role of community, confession, and faith-centered recovery in lasting change  

A powerful emotional breakthrough: Sherry’s honest, tearful surrender—giving up conditions, letting God take control, and the peace that followed—is the heart of the episode. The audience will have their deepest questions answered: “Is there hope for me?”, “Can God really set me free?”, and “How do I stop hiding?”  

Watch to discover how surrender unlocks God’s healing and why no one has to battle addiction alone. -
