From Shot in the Head to Serving Hope: John Carter’s Journey from Crime, Addiction, and Prison to Purpose

In this raw and powerful episode of Witnesses, I sit down with John Carter, author of Triggered to Change.

Who shares his jaw-dropping transformation from a mob-influenced childhood, a near-fatal gunshot to the head, and years of addiction—to now walking in purpose and helping others break free from darkness.

We dive deep into:

• The night John was shot in the head and left for dead

• His descent into depression, obesity, and drug abuse

• The turning point: a moment in a wheelchair that changed everything

• His shocking 10-year prison sentence—and the inmates who became his unlikely saviors

• How he found purpose, got sober, and wrote Triggered to Change to inspire others

🎧 If you're battling addiction, grief, hopelessness—or know someone who is—this episode will ignite a spark of hope.
