"Dear William" with David Magee

Whether we’re a teenager, college student, established professional, or retired, we’re constantly asking questions about our identity. All of us deeply desire to understand the truth of who we are and where we come from. For those of us in strained relationships with our families of origin, questions of identity, purpose, and belonging can get increasingly complicated. What does it take to tell a truthful story about our lives? Where does God meet us in our fractured, imperfect stories? In this episode, Chris and Eddie are joined by David Magee, author of Dear William: A Father's Memoir of Addiction, Recovery, Love, and Loss. Dedicated to his late son, William Magee, Dear William details David’s pain of losing a child, destructive family patterns, and the grace of God in the midst of intense tragedy. He talks to Eddie and Chris about the freedom found in forgiving ourselves, the issue of codependency within a family system, and the power of testimony.Dear William: A Father’s Memoir of Addiction, Recovery, Love, and LossFollow David Magee on the web:https://www.daviddmagee.com Learn more about the William Magee Center for Wellness Education here:https://magee-center.olemiss.edu Give to the William Magee Center here:https://ignite.olemiss.edu/project/16124/donate Follow David Magee on social media:https://www.facebook.com/davidmageeauthor https://www.instagram.com/davidmageewriter/ https://twitter.com/dmagee_writer
