Freedom Begins Where Secrets End: Author, Sherry Hoppen’s Journey from Hidden Addiction to Lasting Hope
Posted in At This Table
What if the very thing you're hiding is the thing God wants to heal—and use to help someone else find freedom?
Some conversations deserve another listen. Not because they're new, but because their message is timeless.
In this special encore presentation of At This Table, Shelly Brown sits down with Redemption Press author Sherry Hoppen for a deeply honest conversation about addiction, surrender, recovery, and redemption.
For more than a decade, Sherry lived a double life. On the outside, she was serving in ministry, raising a family, and doing all the things people expected of a faithful Christian woman. On the inside, she was fighting a secret alcohol addiction that she desperately wanted to overcome.
Then came a thousand-mile bike ride from Michigan to Texas—a desperate attempt to change her life. What followed wasn't a quick fix or a miracle cure. It was a journey of failures, hard truths, surrender, and ultimately discovering that freedom comes not from trying harder, but from finally letting God take over.
Whether you're listening for the first time or revisiting this powerful episode, Sherry's story is a reminder that God's grace reaches into our deepest struggles, our hidden shame, and the places we feel most defeated.
This conversation isn't just about addiction. It's about surrender, healing, and the freedom that becomes possible when we stop hiding and start trusting God with the parts of our lives we'd rather keep secret.
