She Broke 15 Years of Addiction and Rebuilt Her Life Through Faith | Heather Bean | C2S Episode 29

In this deeply moving episode of the Called 2 Serve Podcast, Our Host Reggie Hubbard sits down with Heather Bean — a courageous woman from Dayton, Tennessee, whose testimony of addiction, loss, and restoration will stir your soul.Heather opens up about her early years growing up in a loving home, encountering meth for the first time at age 13, and the spiral into addiction that would take over much of her young adulthood. From a heartbreaking stillbirth to broken relationships, Heather endured the pain of lost time, trust, and connection — but never completely lost her faith.With raw honesty, she recounts the darkest moments of her life, the breaking point that brought her to her knees, and the moment she surrendered fully to Jesus. From that surrender came a radical transformation through a faith-based recovery program, healing from trauma, and eventually the restoration of her relationships with her children — one painful but powerful step at a time.Heather now manages a cafe, runs her own cleaning business, is publishing her first book Healing in the Trenches, and is launching Restore Her Ministries to help other women find healing through Christ.🔹 In This Episode, You’ll Discover:What it feels like to lose connection with God — and how to get it backHow addiction hijacked Heather’s motherhood and how she fought to reclaim itWhy full surrender (not striving) was the key to her healingWhat happened when she finally stopped chasing men and started chasing GodThe miraculous phone call that changed everything with her daughterWhy she’s launching a ministry for women healing from abuse and addiction🔹 Why This Episode Matters:Heather’s story is a beacon for anyone who feels unworthy, broken, or too far gone.
