But what followed was nothing short of miraculous: full confession, radical grace, and complete freedom.Together, they unpack what it means to be truly free, the power of transparency, the role of identity in addiction, and the faithful love of God (and one remarkable wife) that helped rebuild his life.This episode is for anyone hiding in shame, supporting a loved one in addiction, or needing hope that true transformation is possible.Connect with Ren and Adele -https://renandadele.com/Follow Ren and Adele on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/renandadeleFollow Ren and Adele on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@renandadele
