Jennifer Evans is a Global Humanitarian (she's been to 49 countries!), Inspirational Speaker, and Executive Director of Grace Sober Living, a nonprofit based in Phoenix, Arizona.
But a decade ago, this wasn't Jennifer's story. She was working for a high profile nonprofit, taking private jets to five star hotels all over the globe. But what many didn't know was that Jennifer was a substance user and high-functioning addict, and had been since age 13. In 2016, Jen's anxiety and depression could no longer be numbed. Burnout zapped her body and mind of energy. She lost everything. But this is when she found Jesus.
Jennifer's story of overcoming addiction, burnout, and mental health challenges is vulnerable and unashamed, because as she puts it, "That was my past and now God's able to use it for good." At Grace Sober living, Jennifer is using her experience to help transform the lives of people overcoming drug and alcohol addiction through Christ-centered care and housing. Listen in to this episode for inspiration and true hope.
