25. From PTSD to Peace — The Hope That Changed Everything | John Boyle
From a violent childhood in the Appalachian mountains to the executive suite, John Boyle's story is a testament to the transformative power of hope and forgiveness. In this raw and honest episode, John, author of "Appalachian Kid: How Hope Changed Everything," shares his journey from trauma and addiction to redemption and purpose.
Growing up, John's world was defined by violence and hardship, shaping his brain and triggering a decade-long battle with undiagnosed PTSD. Despite professional success, he struggled with crippling anxiety, addiction, and a desperate search for answers. Misdiagnosed and self-medicating, John's life hit rock bottom until a life-altering encounter led him to faith and sobriety. Hear how a chance invitation to church sparked a spiritual awakening, leading John to confront his past, seek treatment, and ultimately find lasting peace. He reveals the profound impact of understanding true forgiveness, not as acceptance of wrongdoing, but as a release for oneself.
John's story is more than just a personal triumph; it's a powerful reminder that hope, rooted in faith, is a tangible force. Discover how God transformed his struggles into a platform for helping others, proving that even from the deepest darkness, miracles can emerge.
