Ron Armstrong joins Eric Ross and Trey Lowell on What the Health Just Happened, recorded on-site at Grounds for Grace off University Blvd in Jacksonville.
Ron is the founder of Sponsored by Grace, a multimillion-dollar community revitalization movement he built from the ground up in one of Jacksonville's toughest neighborhoods, and he's now running for mayor of Jacksonville.
His story starts with addiction inherited from his parents at 14 years old, eleven years of reckless living, and a moment inside a church that changed everything. Sixteen years sober later, he's spent his life serving the city that gave him a second chance, and now he wants to lead it.
This is a conversation about addiction, faith, second chances, and what it actually takes to run a city.
