In this episode of You're Beautiful with Brian Trust, Brian welcomes JD for a wide-ranging conversation about faith, struggle, recovery, and personal change.
JD shares parts of his life story, including meeting his biological father for the first time, enduring a painful and abusive relationship, losing custody of his children, battling drug addiction, and surviving an overdose that became a major turning point in his life.
