Sherry Hoppen – Sober Cycle
Manage episode 443028126 series 3348486
‘Sherry Hoppen, active church attendee, devoted wife and mother, and ministry worker, unveils the raw and unvarnished truth of her decade long battle with alcoholism – a secret that consumed her life, faith, and family. In a moment of desperation, she embarked on a thousand mile bike hike from Michigan to Texas, a grueling challenge that she hoped would mark the start of her journey toward sobriety. And it did – but it was only just beginning’.
Brent talks with Sherry about her new Redemption Press book ‘Sober Cycle: Pedalling Through Recovery One Day at a Time’.
Sherry has worked in various areas of a pregnancy care ministry for over 10 years. She launched She Surrenders in 2016, a ministry designed to encourage freedom from addiction with biblical truths, a deepening relationship with the Lord and the fellowship found in a healing community.
