Gerry Brown

Founder and President U-Turn For Christ - Gold Hill

Pastor Gerry Brown comes from a family of fifteen brothers and sisters, and is therefore family oriented. After many years of struggling with the sin of addiction, finding himself in divorce court with a Judge warning him that he was about to ruin his life, he agreed to do whatever his lovely wife Peggy wanted for him to get his family back. Peggy’s one requirement was for Gerry to attend church with her. Gerry agreed, not realizing God would get a hold of his heart and change his life forever. That was over twenty years ago. Today he is the Senior Pastor of Calvary Chapel Romoland and also the founder and President of U-Turn For Christ. His unique shoot-from-the-hip style of teaching gets right to the heart of the matter, and the meat of the Word. His powerfully unique style of delivering God’s Word will both challenge and encourage you to new levels of maturity in your walk with Jesus, as we draw from God’s design for living, and discover new insights to God’s “Truth and Love in Action”.

An Overview of Denver Treatment Centers
Denver drug rehab centers admit people for marijuana addictions nearly every day. While it’s true that a recent study conducted, in part, by the University of Colorado Denver found that marijuana dispensaries do not increase drug use in teens, it’s also true that marijuana is one of the most addictive and prevalent substances sold on the streets today, and many people are addicted to this powerful drug.

If you’re addicted to marijuana, or any other drug, Denver treatment centers might provide you with just the sort of help you’ll need to get well.

Benefits of Enrolling in a Rehabilitation Program

Drug dealers often tell their clients that the substances they sell are not addictive. If you’ve taken marijuana for years, you might have heard this statement time and time again, and you might also know that this assertion is patently false. Drugs like marijuana change the amount of chemicals the brain produces, and marijuana can also change the way the brain responds to common chemicals. If you’ve tried to stop using marijuana, you might have experienced deep and severe withdrawal symptoms, including depression or anxiety. These symptoms aren’t false or due to some sort of weakness on your part. Instead, they’re due to the chemical changes caused by addiction.

Marijuana Withdrawal Syndrome

If you’re not yet convinced that marijuana withdrawal is real, this study may help to change your mind. Of 54 people admitted to an outpatient program for addiction, 57 percent reported that they had at least six symptoms of marijuana withdrawal, and 47 percent reported that their symptoms were severe. It’s clear that marijuana causes difficulties for those trying to quit. Therapy could help you to overcome those symptoms and move forward with sobriety.
