Dr. Monty Burks: From a Pill Culture to a Purpose Culture - Fighting the Addiction Crisis Through Community, Faith and the Power of Recovery, Ep. 324

October 20, 2026 · 41 min

What if the answer to America's growing addiction crisis isn't just found in treatment, but also in faith, community, and a renewed sense of PURPOSE? In this powerful episode of the Built Different Podcast, Drs. Zach & Tim Clinton sit down with Dr. Monty Burks, a leader within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Great American Recovery Initiative, to discuss the devastating impact of the opioid epidemic and the urgent need to move America from a pill culture to a purpose culture. Drawing from his own remarkable journey through addiction, homelessness, and ultimately redemption, Dr. Burks shares how God used a compassionate faith community to transform his life and ignite a calling to help others find freedom. Together, they explore the critical role of the Church in addressing addiction, breaking cycles of shame and isolation, and creating communities where lasting recovery, healing, and hope are possible. Whether you're personally battling addiction, walking alongside someone who is struggling, or looking for ways to make a difference, this conversation is a powerful reminder that your past doesn't disqualify you from God's purpose, your brokenness doesn't have to define your future, and the very pain you've experienced may become someone else's greatest source of hope.   Links: Find Out More About Dr. Monty Burks: The Faith Center Staff The Great American Recovery Initiative: The Great American Recovery The Health & Human Services Center for Faith: Center for Faith (Faith Center) Looking for Clinically Excellent, Distinctively Christian Care & Counsel: https://christiancareconnect.com/ Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
