My next guest, JR (@CalisFinest619), joins me on Inspire: Phoenix From the Ashes to share his powerful story, “From Darkness to Purpose.”

JR opens his heart about leaving home, serving in the military, returning home, and facing the battles that so many never talk about. His journey is one of resilience, faith, healing, and discovering purpose through life’s darkest moments.

Saved by grace and learning each day what it means to be an apprentice of Jesus, JR is passionate about people and strives to be a source of healing, hope, positivity, light, joy, and love whenever it’s needed most.

Born and raised in San Diego, California, JR has connected with people around the world through TikTok, where you can find him at @CalisFinest619.
