Shawn H. Testimony #2
Freedom dawns when we finally understand that despite our best efforts to help loved ones trapped in destructive cycles, their choices remain their own. This transformative episode dives deep into the challenging reality that family relationships often prove the most difficult to navigate in recovery, especially when patterns of addiction have defined those connections for years.
A powerful biblical principle echoes throughout the conversation: once you've warned someone about their destructive path and offered help, you're released from responsibility if they choose to continue. "The blood is not on your hands" becomes a liberating truth for those carrying unnecessary guilt. The parallel drawn to Jesus's rejection in his hometown of Nazareth offers profound perspective – if the Savior himself wasn't welcomed home, we shouldn't be surprised when our transformed lives aren't immediately embraced by family.
The episode transitions into an extraordinary prayer session that reveals God's heart for business as ministry. A detailed vision unfolds for "Speak Life Thrift" stores becoming vehicles to finance recovery homes across the West Coast. The entrepreneurial dream isn't just about commerce but about creating spaces where "men and women find freedom from addiction" and "families are transformed." The prayers carry prophetic weight, declaring that lack will become a testimony of the past and that God has "found you faithful" with what you've been given. Special attention is given to protection over family members, particularly children navigating crucial life transitions.
Whether you're struggling with family dynamics in recovery, seeking divine direction for business, or simply needing encouragement that your best days truly lie ahead, this episode delivers powerful spiritual insights. What dream has God placed in your heart that might become a lighthouse for others still trapped in darkness? Listen, subscribe, and join us in speaking life into existence.

Speaker 2:so the blood is not on your hands. You were a watchman over your family and you said if you need to go and do that again so that you have some peace and some freedom, so that you know you're good, yeah if you're good, you're good, you're good.
Speaker 1:There's a, there's a verse in the bible that says if you see someone living in sin and you warn them not and they die in their sins on you, their blood is on your hands. But if you see a brother living in sin and you tell them, hey, get out of there, it's killing you, and they continue to live in that sin, their blood is not on your hands, you're free from that blood, you're free.
Speaker 1:You've already. You've already did what you could, brother. Yeah, you're free from that now. So their choice is their choice now, brother, that's not yours plus, family's the hardest, bro.
