Turns Out: A Sobriety Podcast

Brian N. (aka God Guy ) opens up about growing up in faith, losing control to alcohol, and finding grace through surrender. His story isn’t about hitting a dramatic rock bottom, but about finally letting go of quiet control and realizing that strength isn’t toughness — it’s vulnerability. When he shares his story for the first time, emotion floods the room, and what unfolds is one of the rawest, m...

Jake traces the quiet build of an ordinary life. Then, the shocks that cracked it open. A best friend’s cancer, a brother’s spiral, a father’s death.

Becoming someone worth being... that’s the work. 00:00 – Four ducks and a goose teach...
