Sitting on the Board and Hiding Addiction with Joey and Ryan
Joey is a long time volunteer, former Miracle Hill Board member, and good friend of Miracle Hill Ministries. Joey is a certified financial planner and is on the Greenville Leadership Council for the South Carolina Christian Foundation and serves on the Board of Directors for the Spartanburg Community College Foundation and the Union County Economic Development Board. Joey was recognized by Gov. Nikki Haley as an Ambassador of Economic Development for South Carolina.
On this episode, Joey opens up and discusses in great transparency his struggle with alcohol. Joey believes this inability to manage stress coupled with his drive to please people helped to keep him in the grips of addiction for a long time. But Joey's story doesn't end in defeat. Today, Joey shares how he found freedom through Jesus, relationships, and honesty.
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead." 1 Peter 1:3
