The Long Walk Home: Finding Freedom One Step at a Time

At 72, Rand Timmerman laced up his boots, grabbed his pack, and stepped into the unknown - 2,200 miles of the Appalachian Trail with his 71-year-old brother. What began as a physical challenge became something far deeper: a journey through recovery, grief, and renewal.

In this conversation, Rand shares what happens when you stop waiting for the “right time” and start moving toward meaning - one imperfect, miraculous step at a time. From overcoming addiction to rediscovering faith and laughter in the wild, his story reminds us that healing doesn’t happen in theory.

It happens on the trail.
