From Prison to Purpose: Helping Men Break Addiction & Rebuild Their Lives | Ep. 58

In this episode of I sit down with someone I really respect — Janice Hewitt. Janice spent 33 years working as a probation officer, dealing with guys coming out of prison, struggling with addiction, and trying to piece their lives back together. She’s seen the system from the inside, the heartbreak, the relapses, the successes… and everything in between. But when she retired, she realized something. Her work wasn’t finished. Now she helps run a Christ-centered men's support group called Rise Up, where men dealing with addiction, prison reentry, and life’s toughest battles can find community, accountability, and hope. We talk about: Why so many guys fall right back into addiction after prison The cycle of shame that keeps people stuck What families should (and shouldn’t) do when someone they love is struggling The brutal reality of trying to rebuild life after incarceration And the incredible transformations that can happen when someone finally gets a second chance Janice has seen men go from prison, addiction, and total rock bottom… to faith, stability, and purpose. And honestly, some of these stories will blow your mind. If you’ve ever wondered: Why people relapse What actually helps someone change Or how faith and community can completely turn a life around This conversation is for you. And if you’ve got someone in your life who’s struggling with addiction or the legal system — don’t miss this one. To all you guys out there in the pit… Keep rocking your health.
