ABOUT THIS EPISODE

You're hearing the voice of my dad, Rev. John Franich, the founder of Shenandoah Valley Teen Challenge. Not a highlight reel. His real story. In his own words. Dad spent 17 years in the car business and then lived 30 years away from the church. A life-threatening leg infection forced him out of work. That setback became the doorway. He earned a psychology degree from Liberty University and God marked him during a Teen Challenge presentation from Philadelphia. He knew in that moment what he was supposed to do.
