Stephen Radentz

Stephen T. Radentz is an author, speaker, and advocate for faith-based, holistic addiction recovery. He is the author of The Happiness Effect: Creating Happiness in an Unhappy World and Empowered Sobriety: Breaking Free from Opioid Addiction Through Faith, Nature, and God’s Perfect Design.

After injury and chronic pain led into a 12-year opioid addiction, Stephen was taking thousands of pills a month and lost the ability to eat solid food for an extended season. What followed was not a quick fix, but a rebuilding—rooted in returning to God’s perfect design through nature-based living, gratitude, renewed mindset, and intentional daily action.

His writing is grounded in lived experience rather than theory. Empowered Sobriety is not a rehab manual, but a steady, hope-filled path for restoring strength in body, mind, and spirit. Through the Fixed by Nature message, Stephen encourages readers to stop surviving and begin rebuilding from the roots up—aligned with faith, wisdom, and lasting freedom.
