Addiction, Faith, and Recovery in Motion (Grant Wheeler) | Ep. 06
In this episode of The Walkup, Sean O’Hare is joined by Grant Wheeler, Director at The Phoenix—a sober living community using movement and connection to help people rebuild after addiction.
Grant shares his raw and redemptive story of heroin addiction, getting sober, and finding unexpected strength through CrossFit. From panic attacks and family pressure to building sober spaces that are actually fun, this conversation is an honest look at what recovery really requires. Along the way, Sean and Grant contrast church cultures, explore the power of community, and reflect on how physical and spiritual transformation are often more connected than we think.
