In this week's episode, Casey Scott and Dr. Matt Woolley are joined by musician and public speaker, Ryan Stream, to talk about growing up homeless, living in the foster system, and how he felt when he was finally adopted.

He also talks about his decision to join the military at seventeen years old, how he was able to excel at the beginning of his time there, and how making a lot of money through the coal mines led to him experimenting with substances.

Ryan then talks about his struggles with drug abuse, how it impacted his life, and how he was able to kick his substance abuse after being deployed to Afghanistan. He also dives into his heavy alcohol use after returning from his deployment and his decision to return for a second deployment.

Then we talk about Ryan's love for music, how he has been able to change lives through his message, and his latest music video.
