The Second Ascent: A Podcast for Men Rebuilding their Lives after Addiction, Divorce, Death, and Life's Hardest Seasons
Have you ever looked at the pieces of your life and wondered, "Where do I go from here?"
The Second Ascent is a podcast for men rebuilding their lives after addiction, divorce, loss, and life's hardest seasons.
Hosted by Jason Lyle and Chuck, each week we explore what it takes to build a life worth living when the old one no longer exists. Through honest conversations, stories of men who are still in the fight, and adventures that push us beyond what's comfortable, we talk about recovery, purpose, brotherhood, resilience, and the practices that help us become more fully alive.
We aren't interested in pretending we've figured it all out.
We're interested in what comes next.
Life changed. You're still here. What will you build now?
