110. Which Way to Go - Part 1 (w/ Nicole Dutruch)

Guest Nicole Dutruch shares a candid God story of childhood trauma, early sexual abuse, dissociation, and decades-long addiction. She walks listeners through exposure to adult worlds as a child, gang encounters, a moment when a gun was held to her head, struggles with alcohol, cocaine, meth and prescription misuse, pregnancies and motherhood, multiple detox attempts, and the turning point toward faith and recovery. This episode is a frank, faith-centered conversation about the rewards and challenges of recovery, codependency, mental health, relapse, and stigma. Expect raw honesty about failures and healing, practical glimpses into detox and treatment, and reflections on how Christ and community offer restoration. Listen for a hopeful, unflinching testimony that names the pain, normalizes struggle, and points to redemption — part one of a continuing two-part interview.
