Description

The path From Addict to Disciple may be the path less traveled,  but it is the path that makes all the difference!  David Hain is the founder of From A2D, has attained the designation of International  Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor,  and authored From Addict to  Disciple,  The Heart of an Addict, and From Ashes to  Destiny.  He equips people to work with addicts in prisons, rehabs, homeless shelters and communities in the US, Canada and Africa.    These podcasts will focus on finding freedom from the emotional wounds which result in addiction.
