Keith and Brooke Meyer: The Hope a Savior Brings in a Battle Against Addiction
Listen now
Description
When Keith Meyer met his wife, Brooke, he was not a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In fact, the day he first saw her, he had a beer in his hand. Keith had started drinking in his youth, but it wasn't until three years into his marriage that he wondered if he might be an alcoholic. That was when his story of recovery and conversion truly began. And although it's a process that is ongoing—a true fight against an ever-present struggle—they believe it is a story worth telling. “The message that I got was ‘You’re not fighting him. He’s not the battle. You need to battle with him together to fight this addiction.’” Show Notes  2:07- First Impressions 5:58- Drinking and Conversion 11:29- Drawing Upon the Power of the Atonement 13:40- 2020 17:35- Under the Influence 19:05- Heartbroken 21:45- Daily Bread 24:46- Guilt and Shame 28:46- The Hand of God 33:20- Faith Over Fear 37:50- What Does It Mean To Be All In the Gospel of Jesus Christ?
