Today we speak to Keaton Douglas, head of the iThirst Initiative, which works to help those struggling with substance abuse disorders, especially the ever-growing opioid addiction. The initiative seeks to give people in recovery the spiritual tools they need to stay sober and close to Christ.
Addiction can be a terrible cross. “Much of the addict’s suffering is spiritual,” Keaton tells us. Despite all the suffering, Keaton lovingly and wholeheartedly believes in the innate dignity of the human person. Listen to our conversation with her and hear first-hand the passion they she and her coworkers have to those suffering.
