American Recovery

Aaron Prager speaks with military veteran Josiah O’Neil about combat trauma, self-medication, and the long road to healing. Josiah shares how he chose to numb the weight of traumatic events during his service—and how consciously choosing faith led him to surrender and renewal. Together, they discuss why belief must be backed by action, how trust in God creates real change, and why surrender isn’t weakness, but the beginning of true freedom. 📲 Watch our content ad-free on our app: https://prageru.onelink.me/3bas/vgyxvm79 Donate to PragerU: https://l.prageru.com/4jiAT85 Follow PragerU on social media: Instagram ➡️ https://www.instagram.com/prageru/ X/Twitter ➡️ https://twitter.com/prageru Facebook ➡️ https://www.facebook.com/prageru/ YouTube ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/@PragerU TikTok ➡️ https://www.tiktok.com/@prageru

Aaron Prager sits down with interventionist Darren Hobbs to explore how belief in a higher power can transform any life. Hobbs explains that “coming to believe” is usually a gradual process—not an instant revelation—and that most people grow into faith in God over time. Together, they discuss gratitude, openness, and the hope that emerges when pain pushes us to seek strength beyond ourselves. They also reflect on how real belief shows up in action through honesty, love, and kindness. 📲 Watch our content ad-free on our app: https://prageru.onelink.me/3bas/vgyxvm79 Donate to PragerU: https://l.prageru.com/4jiAT85 Follow Aaron Prager: Instagram ➡️ ( / theaaronprager ) X ➡️ (https://x.com/theaaronprager/) Follow Darren Hobbs: Instagram ➡️ ( / thedarrenhobbs ) Youtube ➡️ ( / @diesoberpodcast ) Follow PragerU on social media: Instagram ➡️ https://www.instagram.com/prageru/ X/Twitter ➡️ https://twitter.com/prageru Facebook ➡️ https://www.facebook.com/prageru/ YouTube ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/@PragerU TikTok ➡️ https://www.tiktok.com/@prageru
