with Pastor Jeff

About this episode

Why do you feel distant from God? Pastor Jeff keeps it simple. People don't feel distant from God because God moved. They feel distant because sin, guilt, and shame start piling up and they stop running to Him. Jeff uses an omelet illustration to explain how choices separate us from communion with God. The solution isn't trying harder. It's surrendering deeper. Heart, will, and emotions. Full dependence. That's where communion gets restored.

About the Podcast

Rebuilding Life After Addiction is a weekly conversation for anyone walking the long road of recovery, and for the families walking it with them.

Hosted by Justin Franich and Robert Grant, two guys with over 40 years of combined recovery between them. Justin is a former meth addict who went through Teen Challenge in 2005, spent nearly two decades in recovery ministry leadership, and now helps families navigate addiction through content, referrals, and real talk. Robert served 18 years in prison before finding freedom through faith-based recovery. Today he leads family support calls at Shenandoah Valley Teen Challenge and brings a perspective that only comes from living it.

Each episode features honest conversations about faith, identity, and what it actually looks like to stay free. Not surface-level recovery talk. Not religious platitudes. Real stories from real people who've been in the pit and climbed out.

Whether you're rebuilding your own life, loving someone who is, or serving in ministry, this podcast is for you.

New episodes every week.
