Dealing in Hope – coffee with Keaton Douglass

Healing the Addiction Crisis: A Blueprint for the Church

Mike and Glenn are joined by author and recovery advocate Keton Douglass to discuss the devastating opioid epidemic that is sweeping across all demographics and borders. Douglass, who champions the collective mantra of “Being Hope Dealers,” is working on the front lines to raise recovery awareness, specifically focusing on education at the church level.

The conversation highlights:

The Blueprint: Her book, The Road to Hope: Responding to the Crisis of Addiction, offers a systemic approach to addiction education and awareness.
iTHIRST Ministry: Douglass’s involvement with iTHIRST, a mission dedicated to bringing hope to the over 45 million Americans suffering from Substance Use Disorders.
Spiritual Healing: The core belief that spiritual healing is the glue to recovery.
Mutual Healing: The idea that “mutually broken people can help heal each other.”
The Church’s Role: The agreed-upon necessity for churches to act as “hospitals for the sick,” with iTHIRST providing the tools to be “the hands to healing” in 45 states.
