I think changing the world just means doing it one drug addict at a time and so that's what I'm doing.
Imagine growing up in a tough neighborhood, surrounded by adversity and falling into a life of crime. That was Bryan Rucker's reality. Raised in a low-income area of Houston, Texas, Bryan found himself entangled in gang life and drug dealing from a young age. Legal troubles were a constant shadow over his life. But then, a move to West Monroe, Louisiana, changed everything. Introduced to the grace of Christ, Bryan's life took a turn he never expected.
He found purpose and a new path, becoming part of the popular TV show Duck Dynasty through his work at Duck/Buck Commander. This platform allowed him to share his journey and the Gospel with a wider audience. Determined to help others escape the darkness he once knew, Bryan became an addiction counselor through the Celebrate Recovery program at White’s Ferry Road Church.
Today, he's not just a counselor but also a director of the program, a therapist, and the owner of a sober living program. Bryan's story is a powerful testament to the impact of faith, community, and second chances. His unwavering dedication to sobriety and helping others navigate their recovery journey is nothing short of inspiring. If you're looking for a story that embodies resilience and the transformative power of hope, Bryan Rucker's journey is one you won't want to miss.
