The Spiritual History of Thanksgiving with Stephen Mansfield—Historian | Aggressive Life Rewind

When Scott MacLellan’s daughter was diagnosed with a rare health condition, he knew her childhood would be a fight. Enduring hundreds of surgeries wasn’t the worst of it. What started as a prescription for opioid painkillers eventually became an addiction, pushing Scott’s family to the brink. For over a decade, he fought for his daughter’s future—until a desperate prayer, and a chance encounter, changed everything. On the other side of addiction, Scott and his family are now addiction advocates, helping to pioneer new treatment, and hope, for families walking through similar circumstances. No matter the fight you are facing, Scott’s story can be the shot of inspiration you need to keep going.
