Led by Rev. Phoenix Bell-Shelton Biggs
Addiction is often misunderstood. It is not only about substances, but about seeking relief from pain—pain that too often festers in isolation and shame. In this sermon, Rev. Phoenix Bell-Shelton Biggs weaves together personal story, pastoral encounters, and the Parable of the Prodigal Child to explore the long road of addiction and recovery. At the heart of the story is not condemnation but grace: a God who runs to meet us with open arms, a community called to welcome before judgment, and the truth that every step toward healing is a miracle. Together, we will reflect on what it means to be a church that embodies this radical love—where the lost are found, the wounded are embraced, and no one is left to walk the road alone.
