## Resource

From childhood trauma and addiction to near-death and redemption, Tom Truszinski’s journey—from contemplating suicide to leading a recovery ministry—is a powerful testament to resilience. After losing his father at thirteen and battling substance abuse for eighteen years, a motorcycle accident that cost him his right foot became the catalyst for his spiritual awakening. Now thirty-one years sober and CEO of Minnesota Adult and Teen Challenge, he’s turned his pain into purpose, proving that even the deepest darkness can lead to profound light.
