<p>Cheri Chafin Norris was 16 years old when she became addicted to methamphetamine — and her father’s drug dealer.&nbsp;She wrote to God through her journals for 20 years, recently digging through them to put together her new book, ​<strong>The Purpose of Abundance</strong>​, re-discovering her own connection to God, the miracles that were always in front of her, and religion's reflection in modern society.&nbsp;She sifts through experiences dealing with addiction, recovery, and relationships, dismantling shame along the way.&nbsp;Now, a speaker, entrepreneur, and investor, Cheri helps incarcerated people find jobs, reminding us the wisdom of God is always available, even when it feels like He isn’t there.</p><br><p>Get your copy of The Purpose of Abundance on Amazon: https://www.amazon.ca/Purpose-Abundance-40-Day-Guide-Hearing/dp/1964251931</p><br><p>00:00 - Episode Primer</p><p>01:22 - The Purpose Of Abundance</p><p>03:16 - Becoming Dad's Drug Dealer</p><p>06:20 - Miracles</p><p>09:04 - Relationship &amp; Addiction</p><p>14:06 - God In Modern Society</p><p>19:15 - Don't Stay The Shame</p><p>28:45 - Changing The Past</p><p>30:30 - God's Final Answer</p><p>36:09 - End Credits</p><p>The Human Challenge is hosted and produced by <a href="vanessaferlaino.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Vanessa Ferlaino</a>.
