On this episode of Rooted Recovery Stories with Patrick Custer, former mega-church leader Pete Wilson joins Patrick as they dissect what it means to be addicted to acceptance and how his goal in life was always to do more healing than harm. The two cover huge topics like the differences between authenticity and transparency, grace versus mercy and reconciling his own relationship with faith. Pete opens up about the mistakes he has made and how he is still making amends today. If you struggle with projecting publicly that everything is great while feeling completely isolated and sad inside, this episode will help guide you to finding the right place where you feel safe.
