Ervin Lee

At first glance, Ervin Lee seemed like he had what everyone desired. He had a lucrative career as an executive at Fortune 500 companies, a prospering liquor store chain, popularity, and women. Despite his achievements, he was fighting a battle that no one knew of. His inner demons were slowly destroying him.

Ervin had suffered from extreme alcoholism. His vice put his business, marriage, and even his life at risk. Lee had decided to enter rehab as a last-ditch effort to salvage everything dear to him.

During his stay in the facility, he found more than just freedom; he also found God. Today, he has devoted his life to shining a light for those who struggle with the darkness of addiction and depression. He gets by with the help of his “spiritual sobriety kit,” which includes physical exercise, prayer, and writing about the truth from God’s Word. Ervin cofounded Hampton Ministries to help others find the best path to sobriety and spiritual health.

Sarah Oliveria-McDonald

Sarah has worked in long-term recovery for 12 years and is on a mission to help people receive help with substance abuse. She received her Bachelor of Arts. from the University of Texas-San Antonio, where she studied Communications with a Public Relations emphasis and Marketing minor.

After going through treatment in 2010, she knew she wanted to make a difference in the treatment world. Sarah has been with the La Hacienda Business Development Team securing large corporate accounts, developing relationships with top attorneys in Texas, and building the Fort Worth Alumni. Sarah’s reputation is built on her ability to authentically connect with people. She is the founder of the life recovery group at Doxology Bible Church in Fort Worth, TX.

After interviewing Sarah on the radio show the chemistry was evident to all and shortly there after she joined the From Beer To The Bible show as co-host! She quickly helped craft the new direction, marketing, and long-term goals for the show.

What Guides Us - Our Difference

LOVE

Many who suffer from alcohol and drug addiction have a burning desire to have the love of others, to give love and receive love from God. One of the things that is void in most addicts’ lives is love, and we always want them to know we love them and so does their eternal maker! A lack of self-love in addiction is very common. Many times addicts don’t realize that they have a lack of self-love because they are comfortable with self- loathing and negative perceptions. Our donors, partners, and employees all share a love of others and the love of eradicating self-inflicted suffering caused by alcoholism and underage drinking.
