She Surrenders - The Podcast

She Surrenders is where we talk about faith, addiction, and women all in the same place. Sherry’s 10-year struggle with alcohol ended in surrender to God and a 1,000-mile bike trip. There is an easier way! Sherry started She Surrenders out of a place of needing to find other women of faith struggling with their secrets of addiction. Her heart is to share everything about recovery and what it looks like to surrender to God and the life He calls you to live. Whatever you struggle with, you are in the right place to find encouragement and comfort that you are not alone. We all have our stuff.
Its about time we learn from each other and share our stories of surrender and the joy that can be found in a life living in recovery as a woman who loves the Lord.

Believe in the Opportunity

This is a recording of a talk I did for Grace Christian University in Grand Rapids, MI. In Mark chapter 5, we read about a woman who worked really hard to get to Jesus so she could just touch his coat and be healed. My story of addiction is woven through here because that's all I wanted. To touch his coat and say goodbye to addiction. Little did I know that this is where the real work would begin. There were some visual slides used in this talk so you will have to use your imagination, but I bel...

Mary's Story

Today's interview is with my friend Mary. A young woman who definitely had a moment that brought her to her knees and into recovery. Her message is a riveting account of the journey that she was on that brought her to knees and into recovery. I hope this message speaks to you, it certainly did to me. Honestly, it brought me to tears while she was speaking, and again when I listened to the song she quotes, " Redeemed" by Big Daddy Weave. "All my life I have been called unworthy Named by the voice...
