Meth Took Everything — God Gave Me the Mic
with Craig James (5IVE)
Craig James (5IVE) spent twelve years trapped in meth and cocaine addiction before a supernatural encounter set him free. On November 7, 2010, Craig was on a binge and ended up at an altar in Earth, Texas where his Aunt Pat prayed over him while battling stage four cancer. He felt a physical weight lift off him. Not a metaphor. Real deliverance. Craig took a six-month fast from worldly music and old friends to get rooted. Now 13 years sober and traveling on the Heart of Worship tour as a Christian rap artist.
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.
