Lowell MacGregor is a well-respected concert promoter with 40 years of experience in the music industry. From Pearl Jam to Tony Hawk, Lowell has proven to be an expert in the field.But Lowell's story hasn't been easy or trouble-free.  Growing up was challenging, to say the least.  At 17, he was given the opportunity to start a career behind-the-scenes in the music industry. Alcohol became a central part of his life; then drugs.His life was, as he prayed, "hell on earth" and he cried out to God. In 2000, he met Taylor Hanes, who helped turn his life around. In 2018, Lowell purchased a 6,500 square foot “Castle” built by ex-boxer and bootlegger Phil Polsky. The home was used to host lavish parties, boxing matches and wild affairs of various sorts during prohibition. This mansion is now home to Taylor Made Retreat, a place where those desiring recovery from drugs or alcohol can seek fellowship, spiritual awakening and receive a fresh design on life through the 12 steps.Just hours before a Casting Crowns &amp; Matthew West concert in Wheeling, WV, I met Lowell and told him I wanted to hear his story sometime.  I also invited him to join me on Behind the Mike: Conversations of Hope.  His reply was, "Let's do it! How about right now?"He is passionate about using the tools God gave him during his years of struggle with addiction to help others.Please share this episode with those you know who are struggling with alcoholism and drug addiction!Recovery starts with you!

#011 - Lowell MacGregor | Finding Hope in Addiction

Greetings, congregation! John joins the show after a long break to talk about the super bowl and whether or not humanity is on the brink of destruction. They also discuss our brother podcast Dopey being on a recent episode of This American Life and how it reminds Jed of what's going on in his personal life. Then, Jed talks to Lowell Macgregor from the Taylor Made Retreat. Lowell tells his story of debauchery to sobriety, how he moved from setting fires as a 14 year old to running a spiritual retreat with 29 years sober. Lowell hit some low points in his sobriety as well, and the two have a sobering discussion about that. taylormaderetreat.orgchurchandotherdrugs@gmail.compatreon.com/churchandotherdrugs
