Welcome back to the Go and Equip Podcast! Today, Chandalee and Jenn host a conversation with David McNabb of Adult and Teen Challenge in Chattanooga. Adult and Teen Challenge is a faith-based, residential recovery program for men and women struggling with addiction.
Did you know …
- Almost 21 million Americans have at least one addiction, yet only 10% of them receive treatment. [1]
- Drug overdose deaths have more than tripled since 1990. [1]
- More than 90% of people who have an addiction started to drink alcohol or use drugs before they were 18 years old. [1]
For each of these 21 million, there are countless friends and family affected as well. So many lives impacted by the trauma and pain. It’s overwhelming.
But, God.
He has provided hope through Christ and help through facilities such Adult and Teen Challenge! Their mission is to provide adults freedom from addiction and other life-controlling issues through Christ-centered solutions. David and the staff show ahavah daily to each participant through their doors, while encouraging them to know and share God as they celebrate what God can and is doing in each life.
