Ever wondered how someone can turn their life around after facing seemingly insurmountable odds? Meet Reverend Carl Johnson, whose story is a testament to resilience and faith. From a young age, Carl felt a calling to become a preacher, but his path was anything but straightforward. He got entangled with gangs, sold drugs, and found himself homeless and in prison multiple times. Despite these setbacks, Carl never lost sight of his dream to serve God.

In this episode of 'Real Recovery', Carl shares his incredible journey from the depths of addiction to finding his true calling as a pastor at Faith City Church in St. Paul. Carl's story is one of divine intervention and personal discipline. He talks about how he sought to improve his relationship with God through prayer and meditation, focusing on understanding God's will for him.

His turning point came when he encountered Team Challenge, an experience he describes as being 'cleaned from the inside out'.
