  • John Baker — Author, Pastor at Saddleback & founder of Celebrate Recovery
    For 19 years, John struggled to seek perfection in every area of his life, reaching his lifetime career and financial goals by age 30. However, the strive for perfection caught up with him, and Baker turned to alcohol as a way to cope. The habit spiraled out of control and Baker reached a point where he had to choose to get help or lose everything. He has made it his mission to help others break free from the chains of dysfunctional behavior, addiction and compulsion. He founded Celebrate Recovery ministry along with Rick Warren, which offers a faith-based approach to healing, and is now 18-years sober. Life's Healing Choices: Freedom from Your Hurts, Hang-Ups and Habits is Baker's latest book helping those of us with hurts, hang-ups, or habits!

Journey

  • Michelle — Children's Ministry Coordinator, Kerr Street Ministries
    Raised a Jehovah's Witness, Michelle's family were rejected by the JW community when her parents divorced - her mother for smoking as a coping mechanism and her father for adultery. Her life was pulled out from underneath her during her high school years and Michelle began drinking. In University, she returned to the JW community for answers to life. They began to push for Baptism and she began to push for answers to questions they just couldn't answer. Years later, Michelle has finally found unconditional love and even the ability to forgive her brother sexually abusing her.

Talkback, etc.

  • Should people with addictive personalities be Pastors?
    If someone has been addicted to pornography, alcohol, drugs, overeating, smoking, work, etc., should they be in spiritual leadership? Even though the primary addiction may have subsided, the addictive personality usually takes years of intense work to manage, or may never change at all. The addiction might simply change. Is admitting that you are an addict and that you've had a few clean years, enough for someone to get the "all clear" to be a spiritual leader in a church? Or is there a higher calling for Pastors?
