From Rock Bottom to Redemption   Today on the Beliefcast, I had the honor of sitting down with Daniel Tapusoa—a man whose story will shake your soul and ignite your hope.

His transformation is a living testament that healing is possible—even when all hope feels lost.   Daniel said something that stopped me in my tracks: “I’m grateful for my addiction.” Not many can say that. But Daniel has walked through the fire and come out with purpose, peace, and a heart ready to lift others.   Tune in to hear how relapse shaped him, how pain became his teacher, and how giving back is now his mission.
