What if the invisible battles you carry today began long before you knew they had a name?

In this powerful and deeply personal episode of the Spirit Media Podcast, host David Foster sits down with engineer, entrepreneur, and bestselling author John Boyle to explore the life-changing story behind his book Invisible Wounds. Raised in a violent home, John spent decades battling anxiety, insomnia, hypervigilance, perfectionism, and addiction without understanding the root cause. Despite building a successful career as a CEO and executive leader, he discovered that achievement could not heal unresolved childhood trauma.

John candidly shares his journey through misdiagnosis, alcoholism, rehabilitation, and ultimately the hope he found through faith in Jesus Christ and a diagnosis of complex PTSD. Together, David and John discuss the effects of childhood trauma, emotional healing, mental health, resilience, Christian faith, and practical tools for recovery without revealing the book's most personal moments.

Whether you're struggling with past wounds, supporting someone you love, or searching for hope after trauma, this conversation offers compassionate insight, biblical encouragement, and the reminder that healing is possible. Discover why understanding your story may be the first step toward lasting freedom, renewed purpose, and a future defined by hope instead of pain.
