Recovery 100: Pastoral Care and Addictions

Most of the lectures in this course were part of a class on “Pastoral Care and Addiction” taught for many years at Fuller Theological Seminary by Dr. Dale Ryan. So what you will find here is the kind of material that might be helpful to pastors-in-training.

Many of these lectures contain references to the ‘forums’ – these were part of the class when it was taught at Fuller. No forums are currently available for discussing this material.

There is a LOT of material here – almost 12 hours of video. If you want to view all of the content I recommend watching, at most, two presentations a week. Take your time.
