28 Years of Addiction to Thousands of Smiles & Transformed Lives | Justin Lowry’s Story

Justin Lowry had it all—an expanding roofing company he built from the back of his truck, prestigious roles in the dental industry, and the appearance of success. But behind the accolades was a hidden 28-year battle with addiction that began when he was just 10 years old.

On July 16, 2021, everything came crashing down. After his arrest, Justin lost his home, his family, and nearly his life. In his darkest moment, he contemplated suicide, convinced the world would be better without him. But a judge’s recommendation to try Alcoholics Anonymous became a lifeline. Through attending multiple meetings daily, Justin not only found sobriety—he found a new purpose in service to others.

During recovery, he noticed a pattern: many people covered their mouths when they smiled, ashamed of the damage addiction had left behind. That observation sparked Smiles for Recovery, a groundbreaking nonprofit that provides free dental implant services to people in recovery while simultaneously training dentists in implant placement. The model is sustainable, scalable, and life-changing: dentists receive training they would normally pay tens of thousands for, patients receive transformational care at no cost, and entire families rediscover hope.

The results are staggering:
 ✨ In one day, 20 full-arch procedures worth $1.5 million were completed.
 ✨ Over 3,400 patients across Tennessee and Kentucky have been served.
 ✨ Entire communities are being uplifted through restored confidence, dignity, and purpose.

Justin’s journey proves that pain can be turned into purpose. Smiles for Recovery is not just about fixing teeth—it’s about transforming lives.

💡 As Justin says, “When somebody is going through the ugliness of addiction, others around them are being pulled down. When they’re in recovery, it lifts everyone around them.”

👉 Listen now to hear Justin’s remarkable transformation—and discover how your greatest struggle might become your most powerful gift.

What if the key to healing isn’t in a prescription bottle—but already inside your body?

In this breakthrough episode of The Charge Forward Podcast, Dr. Michael Meighen (regenerative medicine specialist), Breanna Price (health coach), and Steve Price (cryo and recovery expert) join Jim Cripps to explore how regenerative medicine, peptides, and functional therapies are transforming the way we approach health, pain, and trauma.

Instead of masking symptoms or shutting down inflammation, regenerative medicine works with your biology to “trick the body into healing itself.” From PRP to peptides, these cutting-edge therapies activate your body’s repair systems for real, lasting recovery.

💡 In this conversation, we cover:

• Why under-eating and over-exercising sabotage long-term health
• The difference between conventional healthcare and functional, cash-pay models (and why the latter can often cost less)
• The profound impact of blood sugar and hormones on chronic conditions and overall performance
• Veterans’ health breakthroughs with treatments like stellate ganglion block (SGB), which reset the nervous system from fight-or-flight mode
• The ripple effect of healing trauma—not just for veterans, but for spouses and families living with secondary stress

From improving sleep and restoring energy to unlocking emotional resilience, this episode offers a roadmap for anyone frustrated with quick fixes and ready to invest in real healing.

🔥 As Breanna puts it: “How much is your money worth if you can’t even live the life that you dream of?”

What happens when faith drives your business, your parenting, and your global perspective?

In Part 2 of The Charge Forward Podcast with Rhiannon Hiter, we explore how a health insurance professional, wife, and mother uses her platform to create impact far beyond business.

Rhiannon opens with a sobering story of religious persecution — a woman killed simply for thanking Jesus on WhatsApp — a reminder of the freedoms many Americans take for granted. This perspective fuels her gratitude and purpose in business, family, and advocacy.

We dig into:

• Customizing health insurance to protect families from crushing out-of-pocket costs
• Building a business on authenticity and transparency
• How “sharing the wealth” inspires stronger teams
• The global connections and opportunities opened by the National Prayer Breakfast
• Raising children through hybrid homeschooling to align education with values
• Creating passive income streams that work while you sleep
• Her personal mission to help people see themselves the way God sees them

This episode is about living your values out loud — in your career, your home, and your community.

What does it mean to Never Quit?

In this unforgettable episode of The Charge Forward Podcast, host Jim Cripps sits down with the two men who taught him everything about resilience—his father James Cripps and uncle John Cripps.

From Post Depression-era Nashville mischief to near-death experiences in their seventies, these brothers embody grit, ingenuity, and an unshakable zest for life. You’ll hear:

• How they "borrowed" a boat as kids and paddled miles downriver
• Why John, at 69, flipped a RZR 1000 Turbo at 70 mph and still landed on the podium
• James' powerful journey from military service to leading veterans through the broken VA system
• How they built lifelong skills in metalwork and carpentry without formal training
• And what it means to live by the motto: "You don't stop—you just slide into something else."

Their sibling rivalry pushed them to excellence. Their work ethic kept them independent. And their stories will change the way you view aging, purpose, and what it means to keep charging forward—no matter what life throws at you.

💥 “Be somebody worth dying for—because so many have died to give you this opportunity.” — James Cripps

🎧 Listen now for a rare glimpse into two lives that prove resilience isn’t about survival. It’s about how you live while you’re here.

Sentenced to 25 Years for a Crime He Didn’t Commit – This Is What He Did Next

What happens when the justice system gets it catastrophically wrong?

In this unforgettable episode of The Charge Forward Podcast, Dr. William Arnold, shares the harrowing story of being wrongfully convicted and sentenced to 25 years in prison for crimes he didn’t commit. Over 2,498 days, he found strength in faith, and became a powerful advocate for fellow inmates — all while fighting to prove his innocence.

Joined by host Jim Cripps, Dr. Arnold reveals how prosecutorial misconduct, bias, and broken systems led to his conviction—and how his unanimous exoneration during the pandemic became the start of a much greater mission.

Now leading Tennessee’s pioneering Office of Reentry, Dr. Arnold helps justice-involved individuals rebuild their lives, find employment, and restore hope. He tackles the real barriers to reentry—housing, transportation, and stigma—with clarity, urgency, and compassion.

This is a story of injustice, but also of redemption, faith, and purpose.
 It’s about what happens when a man loses everything… and then finds a way to give back more than ever.

“We've all had a second chance — whether we know it or not.”

🎧 Listen now to discover:

• The moment everything changed in court
• What prison taught him about survival and humanity
• How faith and scripture carried him through
• Why reentry programs are failing—and what needs to change
• How he's turning pain into purpose every single day

🎧 Don’t wait until it’s too late—your future self will thank you.

"From Combat to Calm: How a Navy SEAL Reclaimed Peace at Home"

EPISODE DESCRIPTION

What happens when elite warriors return home—but can’t turn off the fight?

In this gripping episode of The Charge Forward Podcast, retired Navy SEAL Zade Morgan shares the raw truth about life after two decades of high-stakes missions, IED blasts, and combat deployments. The battlefield taught him to survive—but back home, that same hyper-vigilance nearly destroyed his connection with his family.

Joining host Jim Cripps is Dr. Michael Meighen, a pioneer in regenerative medicine and trauma recovery. Together, they reveal the groundbreaking treatment changing lives: Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB). This procedure, once used solely for pain management, now offers warriors a way to reset their autonomic nervous system—and reclaim peace in their lives.

Morgan’s transformation is nothing short of remarkable. From isolating with alcohol in the garage to coaching his kids’ sports teams, he explains how SGB gave him back the “white space” he never thought possible.

The episode also explores War Tribe Foundation and its mission to bring cutting-edge healing to veterans and first responders left behind by conventional systems. Their new technology, INVI, uses biometric data and trusted “swim buddies” to detect early signs of crisis—before it’s too late.

🎯 NEW: Brain Ops by INVI
Zade Morgan and his team at INVI MindHealth are taking their mission even further with Brain Ops, a daily supplement developed to protect and support the cognitive health of veterans, first responders, and law enforcement. Designed to combat the invisible threats of blast trauma, environmental stressors, and inflammation, Brain Ops is your shield against the long-term risks of TBI and CTE.

Backed by INVI’s cutting-edge research and commitment to making the invisible visible, Brain Ops helps foster resilience, reduce isolation, and support mental clarity for those who’ve sacrificed so much.
