One "Yes" at a Time: How Ministry Shaped Our Marriage

with Ashley Franich

36:45

Ashley shares our story. How we met. How God called us into Teen Challenge. What it looked like to say "yes" one step at a time when the path wasn't clear and the cost wasn't small. Ministry didn't come with a roadmap. It came with a basement full of women in recovery while we were raising young kids upstairs. It came with long days, tight budgets, and learning to trust God when the math didn't work. This conversation is for anyone navigating faith and marriage through a season of calling or transition. It wasn't always easy. Looking back, it wasn't always clear either. But every "yes" made sense eventually. If you're wondering how to follow God together when the road keeps shifting, Ashley's been living that question for over 15 years.

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.
