Walking Free | John Edwards

About this episode

John Edwards shares his incredible journey from homelessness and addiction to a life of purpose and adventure.

John Edwards was, for many years, a homeless drug addict and alcoholic. His dramatic conversion at rock bottom launched him into the craziest adventures of being repeatedly buried alive (seen by c.100 million people through the airwaves), walking across whole nations whilst carrying a cross, helping criminals and addicts out of their own prisons of addiction, and more. It is a stunning and heart-warming story.
