Justin Franich is a recovery minister, writer, and podcaster based in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley. He went through Teen Challenge as a student, eventually came back to run the residential program, and now leads the organization as Executive Director. He writes about the stuff most ministry leaders won't say out loud: grief, doubt, the Christ-centered middle ground between rock bottom and purpose. His resources come from real life, not a textbook. He co-hosts the Rebuilding Life After Addiction Podcast and writes at justinfranich.com.
