The Gutter Gospel: One Veteran's Journey From Rock Bottom to Redemption

Mike Smith survived homelessness, addiction, incarceration, and a near-fatal fall before faith and community gave him a reason to live. In this episode, he shares the story behind his memoir The Gutter Gospel and the parable of the muddy penny — a symbol of unconditional love for people society has written off. Mike opens up about mental health struggles in veterans, the spiritual side of healing, and the small acts of kindness that can transform a life. His message is simple and powerful: no matter how far you've fallen, there is always a way back.
