(Part 1) The Journey Begins: Andrew Van Kirk's Story of Breakthrough & Redemption

from Journey of Man Podcast · host Andrew Van Kirk

In this debut episode of The Journey of Man Podcast, I'm joined by my wife Kelsey Van Kirk, host of The Better Life Project Podcast, to share Part 1 of my story – a journey marked by highs, lows, pain, loss, addiction, and (eventually) recovery and redemption. You'll hear us dive into the backstory of who I am, where I come from, and the breakdown that ultimately led to my breakthrough (but that comes later, in Part 2!) We aren't leaving any stone unturned in the hopes that this raw, vulnerable conversation reminds you that you're not alone, and that through God's grace, healing and redemption are possible. If you enjoyed today's episode I'd love for you to take a quick minute to leave a rating and review which will help other men find the show and be encouraged!
