#77 - Celebrity Addicts: Whitney Houston (Dr. Cindy Jones and Dr. Shaw)

Dr. Cindy Jones, a CABC with The Addiction Connection, serves with Healing Hearts Ministry and joins us on today’s podcast. Healing Hearts is the umbrella from which various ministries flow, such as women's conferences bible studies, speaking engagements, and more. Their flagship ministry outreach is Free Indeed Restoration Ministry for men, women, and teens. It's a recovery ministry of sorts, but ultimately their focus is upon helping others be transformed and set free by the power of God.
