About this listen

Buddy Osborne is a dedicated community leader transforming lives in Philadelphia’s Kensington neighborhood, the epicenter of the city's opioid crisis. Buddy, Pastor of Calvary Chapel of Kensington and founder of Rock Ministries (a youth development and prevention program), shares the powerful first chapter of his life story.

Buddy recounts his challenging upbringing in Kensington, his successful careers as a roofers union organizer and amateur boxer, and the dramatic events that led him to face life in prison. This episode sets the stage for Buddy's eventual return to his roots to start a ministry dedicated to serving the community that shaped him.
