Episode Synopsis
Grace in the Ashes: Recovery & Faith
Guest: Alanzo Paul (OCCA & REBOOT at Oxford)
In this heartfelt and honest episode, Melanie Beerda sits down with Alanzo Paul to explore the deep work of God in the midst of addiction, doubt, and suffering. Both Melanie and Alanzo share parts of their own recovery stories—testimonies of how God gently pursued them, called them out of addiction, and began a healing journey rooted in grace.
Together, they unpack what it means to live out an authentic faith—one that doesn’t shy away from pain or questions but meets people where they really are. Emphasizing the need for leaders to stay present, humble, and connected to the people they serve.
