Director, Shenandoah Valley Teen Challenge • Host, Rebuilding Life After Addiction
Justin went through Teen Challenge in 2005 and has spent over 20 years in recovery ministry. His parents founded Shenandoah Valley Teen Challenge, and Justin came alongside them to help build the residential program. Now serving as Director, he hosts the Rebuilding Life After Addiction podcast and speaks regularly at churches and recovery events. He’s been where your people are, and he knows what it takes to move from recovery to restoration.
Churches, recovery communities, and families who want faith-based addiction recovery that goes deeper than sobriety—into discipleship, identity, and lasting freedom in Jesus. This is especially helpful for people who are “clean” but still stuck.
I speak on discipleship after addiction, relapse cycles and how to break them, rebuilding trust in families, identity in Christ, and what real transformation looks like over time – practical and biblical, not hype.
Sunday services, men’s events, recovery nights, Teen Challenge centers, leadership trainings, workshops, and weekend/multi-session events.
Absolutely. Tell me your audience (men, youth, families, leaders) and the goal of the event, and I’ll shape the message to serve that purpose.
Yes, but I’m not there to glorify the past. I share what’s helpful, then I focus on biblical truth and practical next steps people can actually walk out.
Yes. I can do a main session plus breakout sessions, Q&A, leadership training, or a weekend format.
A handheld or lapel mic and a point of contact for run-of-show. I keep it low-maintenance and will work with whatever setup you already use.
Yes. Share your location and dates in the form and we’ll talk through details.
As early as you can. If your timeline is tight, still submit the request—sometimes I can make it work.
