In this episode of Joy of the Hang, Sharon Stevenson sits down with Joe Gallagher Jr., author of Bars to Jars. Joe opens up about his battle with addiction, the consequences that landed him behind bars, and the faith and redemption that helped him rebuild his life.

It’s a raw and hopeful conversation about rock-bottom moments, second chances, and the power of community when willpower isn’t enough. Whether you’ve walked this road yourself or love someone who has, Joe’s story will leave you encouraged, challenged, and reminded that redemption is always possible.
