On today’s episode, we’re joined by Finding Hope member Lesli Baker. After marrying her husband, he found sobriety, and Lesli believed he was “fixed.” But when she got COVID and lost her sense of smell, their world shifted, and her husband began drinking again. Searching everywhere for answers and support, Lesli eventually found connection and community through Hope is Alive and Finding Hope. Today, Lesli and her husband are each walking their own paths of recovery—learning, healing, and holding onto hope in the middle of it all. Whether you love someone battling addiction or are navigating your own recovery journey, Lesli’s story is a reminder that setbacks are not the end of the story. There is HOPE!

Whether you're struggling to forgive yourself, forgive someone who has hurt you, or you're carrying years of guilt, grief, or resentment because of a loved one's addiction, this episode is for you. In this episode, Amy and Darcie unpack what Scripture says about forgiveness, clear up common misconceptions, and remind us that forgiveness isn't excusing the hurt—it's releasing it to God and choosing the freedom He offers. You'll also hear highlights from this year's retreat theme, Redeemed Tears: Every Tear Seen. Every Tear Held., and be encouraged by the reminder that God meets us in our deepest pain with His grace, redemption, and hope. FHRetreat.com HALRetreat.com RunForHopeRace.com FindingHope.Today

Many of us have done it without realizing it—we've tried to help our loved one by protecting them from consequences, giving money, making excuses, or stepping in to fix problems. But when does helping become enabling? In this episode, we discuss the definition of enabling: doing for others what they can and need to do for themselves. We explore why families enable, how enabling can unintentionally fuel addiction, and the difficult reality that shielding our loved ones from consequences often delays the very change we hope to see. We'll examine common enabling behaviors, practical examples of healthy support, and how to begin setting boundaries rooted in love rather than fear. If you've ever struggled with guilt, worry, or the desire to rescue someone you love, this conversation will help you better understand the difference between helping the person and helping the addiction..
