He also is a speaker and facilitator at addiction conferences, universities and civic organizations, where he is asked to address the spiritual component of recovery. He also consults with treatment facilities on the same subject.

One of his most cherished ministries is speaking to churches about his own recovery and how they can help struggling individuals and families in their own congregations. “If we pull back the curtain of shame and silence surrounding addiction, people find grace and get well.”
