BTC EP #014: Hardest Lessons in Recovery (Wes Keziah and Jim Quigley)

Three seasoned leaders in Christian recovery sit down for one of the most honest conversations you’ll hear about the real cost of helping people rebuild their lives. From setting healthy boundaries to navigating betrayal, burnout, spiritual warfare, and the emotional weight of leadership, this episode goes straight to the heart of what it means to serve on the front lines. Wes, Jim, and Josh share what it truly looks like to lead men out of addiction while carrying their own burdens. They unpack why helping hurts sometimes, how to discern between a wolf, a goat, and a sheep, and why boundaries protect not just leaders—but entire communities. They also open up about the hidden battles leaders often face in silence: unrealistic expectations, depression, loss, and the pressure to carry more than God ever asked them to. As Wes vulnerably shared, “I experienced some suicidal depression… I knew it was spiritual warfare. I just needed someone to pray with me out of it.” This episode is for anyone in ministry, recovery leadership, nonprofit work, or anyone who wants a deeper understanding of the beauty and burden of walking with people through transformation. Raw. Honest.
