From Rock Bottom to Published Author: Ace's Triumphant Journey
with Ace
Ace was a respiratory therapist on the front lines when COVID first started spreading. Death. Pressure. Trauma on repeat. It cracked something in him. That season triggered a spiral into drugs and PTSD, and it got so dark he tried to take his own life in Boise, Idaho. Ace rebuilt his life through faith-based recovery with a framework he calls Truth, Transformation, and Testimony. He's the author of Try: Truth Transforming Trials into Testimonies, a #1 new release on Amazon for 12-step recovery. He said there were 84 times he wanted to quit.
About the Podcast
Rebuilding Life After Addiction is a weekly conversation for anyone walking the long road of recovery, and for the families walking it with them.
Hosted by Justin Franich and Robert Grant, two guys with over 40 years of combined recovery between them. Justin is a former meth addict who went through Teen Challenge in 2005, spent nearly two decades in recovery ministry leadership, and now helps families navigate addiction through content, referrals, and real talk. Robert served 18 years in prison before finding freedom through faith-based recovery. Today he leads family support calls at Shenandoah Valley Teen Challenge and brings a perspective that only comes from living it.
Each episode features honest conversations about faith, identity, and what it actually looks like to stay free. Not surface-level recovery talk. Not religious platitudes. Real stories from real people who've been in the pit and climbed out.
Whether you're rebuilding your own life, loving someone who is, or serving in ministry, this podcast is for you.
