A Redemption Story– A Conversation with My Dad

In this powerful first interview of Called to Rise, host Matt Crawford sits down with his very first guest—his own father, Mark Crawford. Once the owner of the Pizza Factory in Decatur where Matt spent his childhood working, Mark opens up about his incredible journey through raising kids and owning a business, addiction, and how finding faith helped him rebuild his life. It's a raw, honest conversation about failure, forgiveness, and the strength it takes to rise again.
