In Part 1 of this powerful podcast conversation, I sit down with Peter Colter, whose life story is nothing short of unbelievable. Born deaf and facing major health challenges from the beginning, Peter endured multiple surgeries before finally gaining his hearing back. As a pre-teen, music and drumming became a huge part of his life — but behind the scenes, he was struggling deeply. Peter opens up about addiction, depression, and one of the darkest moments of his life when he planned to end it all. But during that night, Peter says he had a life-changing experience with God that completely changed his direction and took away the depression he had battled for so long. Since then, Peter has gone on to become an author, script writer, and storyteller, writing multiple books and even working on a TV show recently picked up by a streaming platform. This is a story about survival, purpose, faith, addiction recovery, mental health, and second chances.
