In this powerful episode of Alive & Sober with Reno Collier, Reno sits down with Char Cole to share her deeply moving story of loss, faith, and hope. Char opens up about living through every parent's worst nightmare—not once, but twice—and how her journey through unimaginable pain led her to a deeper relationship with God. Together, Reno and Char discuss the challenges of parenting through addiction, the signs parents might miss, and the guilt and questions that follow tragedy. Char shares how her faith, family, and even horses played a role in her healing, and how God’s comfort can reach us in our darkest moments.
Read: 2 Corinthians 1:4 – "He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God."
