Jason Rudeen is a person in long-term recovery, sober since July 23, 2016. He used to sell drugs for a cartel and struggled with drug use for almost 30 years. His journey from addiction, darkness, and near death to faith, healing, and purpose is nothing short of miraculous. At his lowest, Jason stood at the edge of life—pleading for an end—only to be met with divine intervention and the courage to fight for his life.

Today, he co-hosts The Way Out Podcast and Recovery Revolution Live, bringing raw, honest conversations on healing and transformation to audiences worldwide. A Certified Peer Recovery Specialist and Stephen Minister, Jason offers spiritual and emotional support to others battling addiction, despair, and crisis. He also serves on the board of Recovery Café Anoka County, helping individuals find connection, education, and lasting recovery.

But above all, Jason’s greatest gift is being a dad. His life, once steeped in despair, is now overflowing with purpose, joy, and faith—a testament to the truth that no one is ever too far gone to find a way out.
