  • In this episode of the Beacon Show, host Tamara Jackson sits down with Tommie Norman to explore her extraordinary journey of overcoming addiction and finding faith. Tommie shares a heartfelt story that begins with a family steeped in love but shadowed by alcohol addiction. “I grew up in a family that had lots of love,” she recalls. “But we didn't know the Lord, and there was an elephant in the room—alcohol," she highlights.Tommie's father, a functioning alcoholic, faced hospitalization due to his addiction. This event triggered a series of divine interventions. It started with a visit from a local church member. Tommie’s mother, moved by the Holy Spirit, began attending church. She eventually gave her heart to the Lord. “It was like a tornado came in, or a whirlwind,” Tommie describes the transformation.Norman's story is not just one of personal transformation but of generational impact. "It all began with my mom saying yes to the Lord," she explains. It led to her father's recovery, her spiritual awakening, and a multi-generational commitment to ministry. Tommie, her sister, and her father also found salvation. This single act of faith rippled through her family.Today, Norman stands as a beacon of hope, sharing her experiences and insights. She highlights how God heals not just individuals, but entire family systems. Tommie continues to serve in ministry.

For Tommie, the key to overcoming addiction lay in returning to her faith. Her story underscores the importance of biblical teachings and the transformative power of scripture. “When I read the Bible, it was like every question I ever had in my heart was being answered.”Power of Prayer and Healing Through FaithOne of the most compelling aspects of Tommie's story is the role of prayer and faith in her family's recovery. The power of prayer was clear as her mother kept praying and going to church, despite her husband's resistance. “At the end of that year, my dad got saved as well,” Tommie shares. This miraculous turn of events highlights how God heals. It shows the profound impact of faith and recovery.Impact of Faith on Family WellnessFaith not only transformed Tommie’s immediate family but also had a generational impact. “My daughter and her husband are pastoring now. Part of that original congregation,” Tommie says. This story illustrates the significant impact of faith on family wellness. It shows how one person's faith can ripple through generations. It highlights the importance of bringing healing and spiritual wellness.Faith-Based Recovery Programs and Local Church CommunityTommie’s experience underscores the importance of faith-based recovery programs and the support of the local church community. “The local church is what changed our lives,” she affirms. The church provided the structure, support, and spiritual guidance necessary for long-term recovery and family wellness.ConclusionTommie Norman’s story on the Beacon Show is a powerful reminder of how faith and family wellness are intertwined.
