In this powerful episode, Jason and Ron sit down with Justin Lawson, a man whose story embodies the phrase powerless to powerful.
Justin’s journey began in Northern California. A good kid from a loving home who had no idea how deep alcohol and drugs would take him. From baseball dreams and construction crews to shooting dope in a hospital bathroom while his newborn was on the other side of the door, Justin’s story is one of brutal honesty, pain, and ultimate redemption.
He shares how he lost everything. We discuss his freedom, his family, his son’s mother, and how God, Crossroads, and the 12 Steps gave him a second chance. From being kicked out of treatment to returning just months later ready to surrender, Justin transformed his entire life through service, faith, and recovery. Today, he’s the Operations Manager at Crossroads, helping hundreds of men and women rebuild their lives the same way he did.
This conversation dives deep into fatherhood, addiction, relapse, faith, and the reality of recovery. This is the kind of raw truth that makes Powerless 2 Powerful one of the most impactful podcasts in the Arizona recovery community.
