Art in Recovery: From Surviving to Creating

In this powerful episode, Scott sits down with Crystal Matthews, a woman whose journey from hardship and incarceration to healing and hope is nothing short of inspiring. Once a familiar face at our Sunday lunches, Crystal has turned her life around and now leads Art in Recovery, a program that uses creativity to help others find peace, purpose, and self-expression. Together, they talk about how art became her lifeline, what keeps her grounded, and how she’s now helping others rebuild their lives — one brushstroke at a time. Tune in and be reminded that sometimes healing begins not with words, but with color, movement, and the courage to start again.
