"Filling the Void" - Overcoming Addiction and Worship Disorder with Lyle Skillman

In this episode I have a conversation with Lyle Skillman.  Lyle talks about his early years of growing up in a fatherless environment, abuse, abandonment, and extreme poverty. Drugs, thieving, and fighting became a big part of Lyle’s life, and led him to a stay at all of the prisons in Washington.  Lyle’s struggle with addiction followed him through his first 20 yrs walking with the Lord, but eventually opened up a Jesus centered rehab facility, “Mission House”.  Lyle goes on to address some of the commonalities that men who have battled addition share.   Stay tuned for the release of his upcoming book “Filling the Void” Also, stop in and visit Lyle at Harper Church @ 6pm Thursdays in Port Orchard Washington where you can get a meal and get some Jesus.
