In this raw and redemptive episode of The Voyage Cast, hosts Matt Johnson, Breanna Crowell, and Eddie Eccker sit down with Shane, a Denver-based security company owner whose life has been shaped by abuse, military service, devastating loss, and unshakable faith.

Shane shares his deeply personal journey—growing up in a home marked by domestic violence, serving in the military, and walking through the heartbreaking illness and death of his wife. Through it all, his story is anchored in courage, redemption, and the slow work of healing.

Inside the episode:

• The impact of childhood trauma and the generational strength of Shane’s grandmother
• How faith and therapy helped him navigate grief and process emotional pain
• What it means to rebuild life—and family—after loss
• A look into Shane’s new chapter with Heather and her children, and how love finds a way forward
• Why sharing your story can become part of your healing

This conversation is honest, vulnerable, and ultimately hopeful—a reminder that redemption doesn’t erase pain, but it does redefine it.

Note: This episode includes intense themes such as abuse, trauma, and terminal illness. Listener discretion is advised.
