Addiction can take hold of anyone.

Even those with close family, money, and success are not immune. Addiction does not discriminate.

Tim Ryan of A Man in Recovery knows the consequences of this disease firsthand. He lost his home, his wife, his child, and many years of his life through addiction to many substances - including heroin.

Tim is no stranger to struggle, but he’s no longer a stranger to hope, either.

And by the grace of God, he has lived through addiction and is now in active recovery, bringing hope and spreading the message of God’s healing to many.

Tim is a man of the Word, a man of hope, and A Man in Recovery.

Do you ever ask yourself, “Do I deserve a second chance?”

I’ve faced that question so many times in my life. Those voices of defeat and discouragement sound themselves whenever I begin to doubt God’s purpose for my life.

What’s that purpose, you’re wondering?

To be a voice of hope for you.

I think of it like this: “I want to encourage your heart, equip your mind, and empower your life for victorious living.”

And on this first episode of the Victorious Living podcast, I chose to delve a little into what set me on this path of striving to be an encouraging, equipping, and empowering voice.

Kristi Overton Johnson spent over 20 years as a professional water skier and learned a lot of lessons during that time. She’s put those lessons to practical use with her ministry, Kristi Overton Johnson Ministries. In this inaugural episode of The VICTORIOUS LIVING Podcast, Kristi shares why she wanted to start a podcast, and what you can expect from each episode.
