For pastors and ministry leaders
Help the families in your church know they're not alone.
Sheila Williamson and her son, Chad, a certified Recovery Coach, share how faith carried their family through addiction, with churches across Collin County.
Many families are carrying this quietly
Every Sunday, there are parents in the pews carrying a loved one's addiction. Many don't know who to tell, even at church.
They wonder if they caused it, how to stop enabling, and how to keep praying when every day feels uncertain.
No family should walk through this alone. Sheila knows, because she was one of those Moms.
A mother and son who lived it
We've been there. When we speak, Sheila shares a Mom's side and Chad shares his.
Sheila: a Mom's side
Sheila got two bad calls. The first was about Chad's near-fatal accident. The second was from Parkland, saying they did not expect him to live. She wrote Two Calls: Blossoming Faith — Keeping Hope Alive for every parent walking that road.
Chad: the son's side
Chad survived, and today he's a success story. As a certified Recovery Coach, he uses his own story to help others.
