How the Lone Surviving Hero of Yarnell Hills Fire is Helping People Overcome Addiction & Find Purpose

After battling addiction throughout his youth, Brendan McDonough found sobriety when he joined his firefighter crew - the Granite Mountain Hotshots. However, Brendan tragically found himself the sole survivor of his crew after the Yarnell Hill Fire swept through Arizona in 2013. This horrific loss left him with unspeakable pain, PTSD, and sent him spiraling back into addiction and he even considering taking his own life.    But God got a hold of Brendan’s heart. Through his family, local church, and community leaders and friends, Brendan found hope, healing, and purpose. Since then Brendan founded Hold Fast Recovery Ministry where he and his team are helping men get free from their addiction. For Brendan it’s not just about a successful program - it’s about being a shepherd, it’s about helping people dig deep, to learn to dream again, and helping them learn to know God’s voice for themselves.    With an 80% success rate, Hold Fast Recovery is a game changer for those who are ready to overcome addiction. And Brendan’s humble and personal leadership style is at the heart of it all.    Whether you’re a church looking to help those with addictions, have a loved one who is in need of help, or an individual who wants to know how to serve and support those in this fight - this episode is for you.    Get your “stale coffee” and some tissues and hit play.    Notes:   www.holdfastrecovery.com 1-800-351-6858 @donut_928
