MNN’s Katey Hearth interviews Brandon Bower from The Lighthouse, a biblical addiction recovery center, about a new federal initiative on addiction that emphasizes faith-based groups. Bower expresses cautious optimism, noting potential strings attached to government funding. He describes addiction as anything that takes precedence over Christ and highlights The Lighthouse’s 28-bed program for men, focusing on biblical discipleship and community support. Bower emphasizes that change is a process, not an instant victory, and encourages those struggling with addiction to seek help and for people to pray for those in recovery and for The Lighthouse’s efforts.
