Author Daniel D. Maurer shares the story of his disease, addiction, and how it crashed his life while serving a congregation as a Lutheran (ELCA) pastor. In the collapse, he found sobriety and spiritual renewal. He then discusses the power of story to help those who do crash find new life and how that story is worth telling.
