Recovery from everything is possible with God. Our guest today has an amazing story. Sexual abuse at a young age, living on his own by sixteen, alcohol addiction, drug addiction, war in the middle east, PTSD, arrested and in jail, a construction accident that cost him his eye, an addiction to painkillers, and now a full heart serving and loving other people.
Aaron (Patch) Dean has been in recovery since 2010 and is called to the ministry of recovery through his church and through a program called Celebrate Recovery. And within Celebrate Recovery, he is part of a motorcycle group called Broken Chains. Patch is married, and is a father of four. He started a home building business that specifically hires people that others deem unemployable; people who are in recovery, who are felons, or who just need that second chance.
