Andy Pilgrim attributes his recovery from drug addiction to Jesus Christ alone.
He got sober, he said, and he and his wife promptly founded a men’s ministry in North Georgia that stood in contrast to what Pilgrim described as the secular view that addiction is a disease.
“We look at that as a spiritual battle,” Pilgrim said in a recent phone interview. “It’s a sin problem.”
The Clarkesville, Georgia-based Pilgrim Ministries ran nearly two decades, and in recent years reported annual revenue eclipsing half a million dollars.
Recently, however, it faced significant headwinds.
