Hit by a bus while in Portugal on a mission for his church, Josh Penrod's life took a turn for the worse. A subsequent back surgery and addiction to opioids led him down a near 10 year road of lies and deceit, twists and turns that saw him throw everything away for his addiction. Listen in as he describes how, while lying face down in a parking lot, surrounded by the police was the moment when he came to himself and started his path to recovery. He tells of his transformation and subsequent efforts to help others who are traveling bad roads find their way through the help of the Captain Your Story curriculum. Hear how Josh is giving back in a big way.
