A Family's Love with Jeff and Lisa Collien
Both serial entrepreneurs and beloved members of their community, Jeff and Lisa Collien, were living what you could call the American dream while raising their 4 children. That was until they discovered that at the young age of 18, their eldest son Brennan was hiding a drug addiction. Witnessing some unusual behavior and a few minor red flags, Jeff and Lisa would soon learn that the problem was much bigger than Brennan just experimenting and being a typical teenager. Scared for their son and what could come next, Lisa and Jeff stepped into action to help Brennan find his way to sobriety. Torn between tough love and helping in any way they can, Jeff and Lisa walked the path of struggle, heartache, and love while Brennan struggled to find his way to clean living. Brennan would eventually become clean and grew into a man who had a heart that longed to change the world, proudly serving in the US Air Force, becoming a Chaplain to various organizations, and even creating his own non-profit to help fellow veterans and others struggling with the same demons that he did. Brennan also put pen to paper to help others by sharing his own story in his memoir, ‘A Journey to the Light’, which you can get at Amazon.com Unfortunately, Brennan's light would burn out far too soon, and in June 2022, he took his last breath and went home to be with his Lord and Savior. Now through their grief and wanting to keep Brennan's bright light alive, Jeff and Lisa are honoring his life by continuing with the wonderful work that Brennan was so passionate about. Listen in as Jeff, Lisa, and I discuss the struggles and heartache that addiction brings to you as parents, how Brennan's bright light is still making a positive impact on many others, and how their mission to continue Brennan's work and legacy is helping them heal and find their way to FEARLESS HAPPYNESS!
