    Ep 18 - Advice for People Who Love Someone Trapped in Addiction

    Your son lives in the basement and drinks way too much. Every day you spend worried sick about whether he will live or die. You wonder how much longer you can take the lies, abuse, broken promises. You feel shame and even blame yourself, not knowing what went wrong. What do you do? In this episode, we talk to Bruce, a man who has walked the recovery road and is now going back to help others. He started Perimeter Recovery Residence here in Atlanta. I met with him and another friend in the living room of one of his recovery homes to simply answer the question, "what advice do you have for parents with kids trapped in addiction?" The conversation went many places, but all helpful. You'll learn about the mind and heart of an addict, what you need to do to really help, how to help yourself, and how to evaluate a treatment program. Show notes can be found at www.jeffreams.com. Thank you for listening!

    Ep 15 - Preparing the Soil: Helping Liberian Cocoa Farmers Be Fruitful

    You can give a man a fish, teach him to fish, or you might find out that he already knows how to fish. He only lacks the tools. In this episode, you'll hear from three people who recently returned from a visit to a rural Liberia village. There they met some Cocoa farmers who are ready and willing to work, they'd just like our help to become profitable, feed their families, support their school, and witness to the work of God in their community. So, that's what we're setting out to do. To learn more about the Balama Development Alliance, visit www.balamaproject.org
