Summary
By 28, David Vincent had been arrested over 30 times, faced 18 felonies, and was staring down a 15-year sentence. Raised in the streets of Memphis by a mother who taught him to steal and a violent stepfather, his future seemed set—until he cried out for another chance. Today, he’s the founder and CEO of the Warrior Center, a faith-based rehabilitation program that helps men, women, and veterans battling homelessness and addiction find hope, healing, and a new future.
Join me as David shares his remarkable road to redemption—from a childhood of crime and survival to a life transformed by faith and purpose. He opens up about the moment everything changed, the miracles that led to his early release from prison, and how he turned his second chance into a mission to serve others.
My friends, you'll leave this conversation with a renewed belief in grace, the power of purpose, and the truth that your story isn’t over yet.
