Dawn Ward, Author of From Guilt to Grace: Hope and Healing for Christian Mom of Addicted Children

From Guilt to Grace: Hope for Christian Moms of Addicted In this powerful and compassionate episode of Saved and Strong, host Carrie Watts sits down with Dawn Ward, speaker, writer, Bible teacher, and founder of The Faith to Flourish—a ministry devoted to helping women live transformed lives through biblical truth, mentoring, and faith-filled encouragement. Dawn shares her heart and personal insights from her new book, From Guilt to Grace: Hope and Healing for Christian Moms of Addicted Children, offering hope to mothers carrying the heavy burden of loving a child caught in addiction. Together, Carrie and Dawn discuss how addiction impacts the entire family, the spiritual and emotional toll it takes on parents, and the quiet guilt many Christian moms wrestle with behind closed doors. This conversation dives deep into: How faith sustains us in seasons of heartbreak Why community and support are essential—not optional Practical wisdom for parents navigating addiction with grace The importance of self-care, empathy, and surrendering outcomes to God Dawn gently reminds listeners that they are not alone, that shame has no place in God’s story, and that healing begins when we step out of isolation and into grace-filled community. Based in Las Vegas, Nevada, Dawn is married to Steve and is the mom of three adult children. When she’s not serving in women’s ministry or writing, she enjoys scenic mountain hikes, time with her dogs, and reading a good book. 💛 This episode is for every mom who loves deeply, prays fiercely, and needs the reminder that God’s grace is sufficient—even here. 🌿 Website: 👉 https://www.thefaithtoflourish.com 📘 Facebook: 👉 http://www.hopewriters.com/a/2148183199/sY22Dv2U Want to publish your book too? http://www.hopewriters.com/a/2148100459/sY22Dv2U Join us at the Hope*Story Conference: http://www.hopewriters.com/a/2147984805/sY22Dv2U #SavedAndStrongPodcast #FaithToFlourish #FromGuiltToGrace #ChristianMoms #AddictionRecovery #FaithOverFear #HopeAndHealing #ChristianParenting #WomenOfFaith #GraceWins #TraumaInformedFaith #YouAreNotAlone
