We find these people so that they could help inspire us and motivate us to change for you to become better.

Others, they are just so happy in counseling other people to change for the better version of themselves. They just want to inspire them and be their guide in bringing them closer back to God. Most of them are found in Christian alcohol treatment centers wherein they give half of their time in helping other Christians.
