Episode Description
Every year, thousands of people fall into homelessness after a single untreated crisis, and most never find their way back out. Pastor Troy Vaughn, founder of the Restoration Family Worship Center and author of From Skid Row to CEO, joins Dawna Campbell to talk about the seven years he spent living on the streets and how that experience became the foundation for Christ-centered Ministries, the nonprofit he built to serve nearly 400 employees and thousands of families across Los Angeles County.
Pastor Troy shares the story behind his own collapse, a father lost to addiction, an untreated mental health crisis in the Marine Corps, and the cardboard box on Skid Row where he finally surrendered to God. He also opens up about the seven failed attempts to change before the one that finally took, the hard work of repairing the harm his addiction caused his mother, and the leadership lesson patience it took him decades in ministry to learn.
