From DUIs to Redemption: Steve Anderson on Addiction, Prison, Fatherhood & Faith | Dear Son Show
Steve Anderson joins D Johns on The Dear Son Show to share how alcohol-fueled choices led to multiple DUIs, fighting, a felony DUI with great bodily injury, and eventually a third DUI that sent him to prison for a year and a half. He describes a turning point through Christian rehab, his father’s unwavering support, and leading a growing Bible study in prison where dozens of men got saved. Steve discusses leaving corporate to become an entrepreneur, facing his 13-year-old daughter’s suicidal ideations, relapse risks, and the importance of community and accountability through The Good Dad Tribe. He reflects on divorce, co-parenting three kids, parenting with fun and structure, learning patience, and staying aligned with God while rebuilding his life.
