88. Looking in the Mirror (w/ Lawren and Randall Cobb)

In this episode of Jesus Loves Addicts, father-daughter guests Randall and Lawren Cobb share a raw, hopeful conversation about addiction, family, and faith. Lawren recounts her six-year struggle with meth—starting with middle-school insecurities, progressing to self-harm and homelessness, and culminating in violent relationships—while Randall describes the pain and difficult boundaries of parenting a child in active addiction. They discuss signs parents can look for, the harm of secrecy, the value of tough love and boundaries, and the pivotal role of Christ-centered recovery programs like Wings of Life and Home of Grace.

Key topics include the influence of social media on self-image, how addiction can hide behind achievements, the importance of community and prayer, and how faith and honest conversations restore relationships. Guests reflect on relapse, treatment journeys, angelic interventions, and the ongoing process of rebuilding trust. Listeners will hear both practical guidance for families and a hopeful testimony of redemption: three years sober, restored relationships, and a new life working with animals and serving in recovery ministry.
