Episode Details

Mike Smith is a former homeless veteran who’s battled addiction, mental illness, and life’s darkest valleys — including two civil commitments and six weeks in a state mental facility. Shackled, silenced, and broken, he once questioned God about his suffering. But in the depths of despair, Mike heard a voice that changed everything: “You have been given this life because you’re strong enough to live it.” Today, Mike is the author of "The Gutter Gospel", a raw and inspiring memoir that shines light on life’s hardest truths and the healing power of faith. His story is a powerful voice for veterans, the addicted, and anyone who’s ever felt forgotten. Through every trial, Mike proves one thing: redemption is real, and hope is never out of reach.
