Disclaimer: This episode contains topics not suited for tender ears. You might want to put on your headphones for this one. In this episode we talk to Randy Fahrbach, a good friend of ours who has been sober for 24 years. We go through his path towards recovery and talk about the spirituality of the twelve steps. There’s a lot to unpack about the twelve steps that can help anybody in their walk of faith, especially if we look at it through our Catholic faith’s lens.
