Addiction & Recovery

What Happens After Church Betrayal? Aaron Opens Up

with Aaron Daigle

6:36

Aaron Daigle was an administrative pastor who got spiritually abused by a leader he saw as a father figure. When that relationship turned nasty Aaron sat in a dark room for six weeks. Depression. No direction. The man who was supposed to be his mentor told him he'd never succeed without him. That's gaslighting. Aaron's breakthrough came through professional therapy and the support of his father-in-law.

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.
