Finding Hope When Your Loved One is Addicted: A Conversation with Gary and Kelly Wilkerson

We recently had the privilege of speaking with Gary and Kelly Wilkerson about their story — from how they met as teenagers, to their struggles with their own kids dealing with addiction. Their testimony is a powerful example of holding on to your faith in the face of addiction. They shared that all four of their children faced addiction at some point in their lives, including a child who struggled with heroin addiction while living homeless on the streets. Despite the pain and heartache, Gary and Kelly held onto their faith and trusted in God’s plan for their family. If you’re listening to this and have a family member who is lost and feels out of reach, we hope to encourage you today by sharing some of their wisdom and experience.
