Episode Description from the Publisher

Some battles happen quietly, behind closed doors, where people are fighting struggles the world may never see. In this powerful episode of Thursday Unplugged, Gillian Utesch sits down with Patrick Reid for a raw and honest conversation about addiction, faith, hope, and the journey toward redemption. Patrick shares a deeply personal story about the moments when life felt overwhelming and hopeless, exploring how love, faith, and small acts of kindness can become a lifeline during the darkest seasons. Through his reflections on addiction and recovery, Patrick reminds us that every person has a story, and behind every struggle is a human being searching for a way forward. This conversation explores the power of hope when everything feels lost, the importance of compassion instead of judgment, and how faith can guide people through their hardest battles. Patrick reflects on the meaning behind “Hookers, heroin, and Jesus” as a symbol of a life caught between brokenness and redemption, showing how even the most difficult chapters can become part of a greater transformation. Whether you’re facing your own challenges, supporting someone through theirs, or simply looking for a story of resilience and renewal, this episode is a reminder that no one is beyond hope. Because sometimes the greatest victories come from the moments when we choose to keep fighting.   Connect with Patrick Reid: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/preidmusic/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/154246411831481   Connect with Gillian: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gumoney/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/asuperwomanhandbook/ Website: http://brokenglassceilingmarketing.com   Listen & Subscribe Subscribe to Thursday Unplugged on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.   #ASuperwomanHandbook #ThursdayUnplugged #PatrickReid #HopeAndHealing #faithjourney  #addictionrecovery  #redemptionstory  #mentalhealthawareness  #resilience  #lifelessons  #personalgrowth  #podcast #viral #trending
