Painful Grace: An Interview with Cliff Danley (April 23 Weaver and Cleave Conference Breakout Panelist)

Cliff Danley, as he puts it, hit rock bottom several times in his adult life. He started using substances young, and for many years, he struggled with a life of substance abuse, broken relationships, homelessness, and time in jail. But during these years, there was hope. Cliff was introduced to Jesus.

Cliff entered Phoenix Rescue Mission's residential program, and after completing the program, he went on to head up the residential Aftercare program for 13 years. Today, Cliff is an ordained chaplain and the Senior Scholarship Administrator at Grace Sober Living, where he provides residents with educational scholarships by the Steele Family Foundation.

Join us as we talk with Cliff about his life, his faith, and his passion for helping men sustain long term sobriety AND discover their vocational potential. Listen to the end of this episode and enjoy Cliff's reading of one of his own poems, written at a turning point in his recovery journey. Cliff's story is one of true redemption and hope. We know you'll be encouraged.
