Going Back to Where We Started: The Future of SVTC in 2026
with Justin Franich
Shenandoah Valley Teen Challenge is transitioning in 2026. After 16 years in our current building, we're selling the property and stepping away from the 12-month residential model to focus on community-based recovery. My dad didn't start this ministry with a building dream. He started it with a burden. Helping a few people get their lives back together. This new model is built on three lanes: content, community, and mentoring. Same Gospel. Same mission. New strategy.
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.
