John Baker, an alcoholic for years who, in time, looked to God for relief and deliverance. As a young man he moved from the St. Louis area to California. John tells of a 14-page letter he wrote to Pastor Rick Warren of Saddleback Church, where he was attending worship. He proposed a ministry to people like himself with addictions. Within a very few days Pastor Warren invited John to his office. After discussion, the pastor said to John something like: “That’s a great idea. Do it!” The vision now had given birth to “Celebrate Recovery.” Amazingly, throughout the subsequent years through today, more than 400,000 have participated in Celebrate Recovery. This radio conversation with John Baker was conducted in connection to his earlier visit to St. Louis. See www.celebraterecovery.com.
