Abandonment, anxiety, and low self-worth became an angry gaping wound I filled with junk food, television, blackout binge drinking, diet pills, and a constant need for approval from the world. I was completely fascinated with “famous” people and addicted to meeting them (hence the Rick Nielsen pic), and searched blindly for love from men incapable of giving it. Today I live by this verse: “If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ’s servant.” Galatians 1:10. The Hope Report is here to do just that….bring hope in the name of Jesus Christ. This faith-based podcast provides a community for believers (and anyone curious about faith!) where we can give each other a hand up in the same way that Jesus gives each of us His hand whenever we need the support. The Hope Report is brought to you by the Lindell Recovery Network, an addiction-focused non-profit serving recovering addicts, and hosted by Melissa Huray and Jason Perry, both of whom have had lives touched by addiction and other struggles. The podcast features inspirational testimonies and interviews, bible studies, addiction counseling and resources, regular segments with military and law enforcement veterans, and opportunities for listeners to engage with the community.
