2026-07-0530:08

You did the hardest thing already. You got clean. Then comes the part that rarely gets talked about: the debt, the wrecked credit, the bills you can't look at. I sat down with my friend Jacob Dobscha, a business insurance agent with LD&B Insurance in Harrisonburg, Virginia, to lay out exactly how you dig out. Not theory. A plan you can start the week you get home. We cover the whole thing. Where to begin when everything feels like it's on fire. The first $1,000. The debt snowball and why ...

2026-06-2736:36

Relapse almost never starts with the drug. It starts long before that, in the warning signs most people miss. I've known Nathaniel Gray since 2008.

No studio, no stage, just three of us on the floor of an empty garage at The Table 61 in Harrisonburg, Virginia. It started with one question. What if the crushing is the blessing? From there we got into the olive press, the wine that has to age, and why Jesus wasn't in a hurry to be seen.

Why People Relapse (It's Not the Drug) | Clip

2026-06-0905:59

Three and a half years sober. Gone in 30 days. Everybody assumes relapse starts with the drug. A trigger. A craving. A bad day you couldn't beat. It didn't. In this clip, Rocco says it straight. He stopped staying plugged in. The church family, the brothers, the community God built around him. He let it drift. Work got busy. Bible study got skipped. The relapse was already happening months before he ever picked up. That's the part nobody warns you about. The fall doesn't start where you think...
