My Mom’s Response to: My Drinking, Sleeping Around, and Addictions

I told my mom I was drinking, watching porn, sleeping around, and that I’d been excommunicated from my church...

But she just loved me.

And honestly, that shocked me.

In today’s episode, we sit down with my mom as she walks through what it was like hearing about my mistakes everything from addiction to excommunication and how she chose love over judgment.

We filmed this conversation to help parents, mentors, and anyone in a guiding role learn what it really means to respond with faith, not fear.

In this episode, I open up about the lowest moments of my lifeand how my mom responded when I turned away from God.

After losing my marriage, getting caught in addiction, and being excommunicated from the church, I thought I’d pushed everyone away. But instead of reacting with anger, control, or shame, my mom responded with something completely different unconditional love.

We talk about what it really means to be a parent who creates safety instead of fear, and how she learned to trust God’s plan while letting me find my own way back to Him. Her example taught me more about Christ’s love than any sermon ever could.

If you’ve ever wondered how to respond when someone you love walks away from God—or how to love someone through their worst decisions—this conversation will change you.
