Addiction can feel like an isolating battle, but no one has to fight it alone. In this deeply personal episode of the Inverted Podcast, PJ sits down with Will, who shares his journey through addiction, homelessness, and the struggles of broken trust. His story is a testament to the power of redemption, the importance of finding support, and the life-changing impact of faith.

Will opens up about his childhood, the pain of losing his father, and how addiction became a way to escape. He talks about life on the streets, the people who showed him kindness, and the moments that led him to seek change. His turning point came when he realized he couldn’t keep living the same way—he needed something greater. Through faith, community, and the willingness to take that first step, Will found healing and a new purpose.

No matter how dark life gets, there are people who care—whether it’s a friend, a recovery group, or a faith community. Finding the right resources and surrounding yourself with people who genuinely want to help can make all the difference. Will’s journey reminds us that healing is possible, and that even in the hardest moments, hope is never out of reach.

If you or someone you know is struggling, don’t hesitate to seek help. There are people ready to walk alongside you.

In this episode of Inverted, PJ and Christi dive deep into the powerful topic of spiritual gifts—what they are, how they function, and why they matter in your walk with God. Sparked by a recent Q&A session at TROC, this conversation explores how each person is uniquely designed for God’s purpose and how embracing your gifts leads to confidence in faith.

From prophecy to faith, from leadership to mercy—every gift has a role in glorifying God and serving others. But how do you know what your gift is? Can you have more than one? And are all the gifts still active today? PJ and Christi tackle these big questions and share real-life experiences of seeing God move in miraculous ways.
