    In this episode of Life Upside Down, we sit down with Shawn Riddle, founder of Priority Family Services, to hear his powerful story of redemption and hope. Raised in the church, Shawn walked away from his faith at just 13 years old, beginning a long journey marked by alcohol, drug use, and searching for meaning in all the wrong places. For two decades, he chased fulfillment apart from God, only to find himself broken and empty. But at age 33, everything changed when Shawn encountered the grace of Jesus in a deeply personal way. His story is one of transformation—from rebellion and addiction to restoration and purpose. Today, Shawn uses his testimony to help families overcome their own battles and discover lasting hope through Christ. Join us as we talk about what it means to come home to the Father and how God can redeem even the most unlikely stories.
