What people are saying about TAC Summit

Through the Gate

Women's Residential Program in Indiana

This year’s The Addiction Connection conference was a wonderful experience! Thank you to Dr. Mark Shaw, his dedicated family, and everyone who put in the work to pull off another encouraging year for the counselors, servants, and ministries striving to bring the hope of the gospel to the heart of addiction. The over arching message of cultivating enthusiasm in the trenches served as a boost in perseverance to us all. By the Grace of God, we will not grow weary of doing good! To see His hope and deliverance spreading by the growth of these summits reminds us that the battle is His, not ours! We are but letters from God, sent out to bring peace and reconciliation through Christ. Our new House Manager and graduate, Caroline, was also commissioned as an Addictions Counselor through TAC! We couldn’t be more thrilled to see the work that the Lord continues to do in transforming her life. All the glory and honor to Him forever! ❤️❤️❤️

I had a great time this weekend at The Addiction Connection’s annual leadership summit. Thank you Mark Shaw and crew for all the work that goes into this event. If you have a heart for Biblical counseling and addiction, go get commissioned with TAC!

So many thoughts going through my head after a weekend at The Summit hosted by The Addiction Connection. So many great talks by folks spending their lives dedicated to drawing people from darkness to light. So many great connections made with other transformed addicts. It was truly an encouragement to hear the stories of God's redemption in the lives of people like me who were once lost in addiction, but have been made free by the power of Jesus! Working in addiction ministry can feel so heavy, but to be reminded of God's call to reach the lost and the least, and to see the people who are evidence of life change from the gospel is truly encouraging. Thank you Mark Shaw and team for being committed to encouraging and connecting people to the hope of the gospel for the heart of addiction! "So if the Son sets your free, you will be free indeed." -John 8:36

The Summit is the one time each year I get to hang with 'my people'—the special brothers and sisters called to the front lines of addiction ministry—who believe the biblical model is the answer.
