From Social Anxiety to Leading Women in Recovery | Peg's Story

From Social Anxiety to Leading Women in Recovery | Peg's Story

Peg's dad was an addict for most of her life. He was in and out of jail. The last time he went in, he never came back — his cellmate murdered him. He never made it to recovery.

Peg carried that grief and that hatred for years. When she finally tried to reconnect with him, it was too late.

Then she showed up to one worship night in Crossville, Tennessee. She didn't know anyone. She had crippling social anxiety. A stranger prayed over her — and something broke open that she still can't fully explain.

Three weeks later, she started a Women's Bible Study at The Way that's growing every week.

Matt and Peg talk about losing someone to addiction without them ever getting clean, what it looks like when God heals wounds he didn't cause, and the simple truth that's been changing the women in Peg's study: the God of the universe isn't just looking at you — he's seeing you.
