Overcoming Giants: Josh Wilson's Journey Through Addiction, Faith, and Music

Text Brian & Shawna (Fan Mail)

What happens when we're faced with giants? Join us in this heartwarming episode as we explore the complex struggles of addiction and the journey to recovery with our special guest, Josh Wilson. Brian and Shawna Curee, also known as Mr. and Mrs.KillerB in the Metaverse, dive deep into the concept of facing life's giants, inspired by Louis Giglio’s devotional "Goliath Must Fall." Josh shares his personal story and performs live, offering a testament to the power of faith and community in overcoming life's giants.
Josh shares his travel stories, including a humorous roadside stop in Idaho, but he also opens up to discuss his battle against social anxiety and alcohol addiction, and celebrating seven years of sobriety thanks to the support of friends, counseling, and his wife. We address the importance of mental health, breaking the stigma within the Christian community, and the role of medication in managing anxiety. Josh’s performance of "God's Not Mad at You" leaves us with an uplifting message of hope and healing, reminding us that love and support are always within reach, even in our darkest moments.
