#12 - Ministry Showcase: The Refuge with Ben Funkhouser, Part 2

from The Addiction Connection Podcast · host theaddictionconnection

Dr. Mark E. Shaw continues his conversation with Ben Funkhouser, the Director of The Refuge in Winterset, Iowa (www.refugewinterset.com) that is "Taking the Light of the Gospel into the Darkness of Addiction." The Refuge is one of the few ministries to appear twice on TAC's Resources listings - both on the Residential and the non-Residential programs - because they are reaching out and providing care with a genuinely biblical approach to addictions. Ben reviews the admissions process, the context of the program intricately woven into the fabric of their local church (Redeemer Church), the biblical counseling they offer, employment of the men at Rose Acres, and the church volunteering time for everything from fundraisers to mentoring. Mark and Ben close the conversation by discussing the implications of Philillpians 3:8-11 on addiction ministry and the Christian walk in general.
