In this heartfelt episode, we are joined by Ryan Laab's, an associate campus pastor at Christ Fellowship Church in South Florida, who shares his profound journey from addiction and self-destruction to a life of faith, purpose, and service. Ryan opens up about the years he spent battling self-harm and addiction to drugs and alcohol—struggles that often led him to emergency rooms and moments of despair. At 28 years old, after years of denial, he entered treatment and finally surrendered to the disease of addiction, beginning the hard but rewarding path to recovery.

Ryan credits his transformation to his relationship with God, specifically through his Christian faith and connection to Jesus Christ. He speaks candidly about how embracing his faith gave him hope and direction when he needed it most, leading to a life far greater than he could have ever imagined.

Today, Ryan celebrates multiple years of sobriety, a loving marriage, and the joy of raising two adopted children. He dedicates his life to helping others through his ministry work, offering guidance, empathy, and inspiration to those struggling with their own challenges.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking hope, especially those wondering how faith and community can play a role in recovery. Ryan’s story is a powerful testament to resilience, surrender, and the transformative power of finding your purpose.
