Joe's Redemption: From Addiction to Ministry

It took me About A Week or two to realize that they were being sincere and they wanted to know how I was doing, and they wanted to encourage me and love on me and lift me up.
Joe's life story is a testament to the power of transformation. In this episode of the 'Recovery Podcast' by Volunteers of America, Joe recounts his journey from the depths of addiction and crime to becoming an ordained minister and the Director of Pastoral Care for VOA. His path wasn't easy—riddled with childhood trauma and destructive choices—but it's a story of finding faith, spirituality, and supportive relationships that ultimately led him to sobriety.
Joe emphasizes the critical role of aftercare and community support in maintaining recovery. His experience now fuels his passion to help others find their way out of addiction. This episode is a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with similar struggles, showing that with faith and support, a new life is possible.
