What if the pain you’ve carried for decades could become the very thing God uses to bring healing — not just to you, but to others?
In this episode, Ryan opens up about a lifetime marked by trauma, addiction, and searching for identity. But it wasn’t until he walked through the doors of Scottsdale Bible Church that he experienced a true heart transformation — one rooted in faith, fellowship, and surrender to Christ.
With honesty and humility, Ryan shares the journey that brought him to his knees and ultimately into a new life. From a powerful spiritual encounter in a swimming pool, to a broken neck and a stage four cancer diagnosis, his story is one of relentless struggle met with even greater grace. Along the way, he found not just sobriety, but peace. Not just recovery, but restoration — in his marriage, his family, and his walk with God.
If you’ve ever wondered whether change is really possible — or whether you're too far gone — this conversation is for you. You are not alone. There is hope. And there is a place for you in this community.
Lean in, listen close, and don’t be afraid to take that first step.
