In this episode, host Christin Day sits down with Juan Avalos, founder of Dads Against Bluez, for an honest conversation about addiction, incarceration, fatherhood, faith, grief, and recovery. Juan shares the heartbreaking story behind Dads Against Bluez. He talks about growing up surrounded by addiction and instability, becoming addicted at a young age, spending years in and out of prison, and missing important years of his daughter Angelica’s life. He also talks about the moment he had to face a reality no parent should have to face: watching his own daughter struggle with addiction, mental-health challenges, homelessness, incarceration, and the streets. Juan shares the last time he saw Angelica alive. After her death, Juan had a choice. He could allow grief to destroy him, or he could allow God to use his pain for something greater. Alongside his family, he chose to honor Angelica by turning his loss into purpose. Today, Dads Against Bluez is working in Phoenix to raise awareness about fentanyl, support fathers, educate youth, mentor families, and help break generational cycles of addiction and incarceration. At Crossroads, we know addiction and overdose are not statistics. They are someone’s child. Someone’s parent. Someone’s partner. Someone’s friend. We see this pain every day, but we also see recovery happen every day. We have deep respect for Juan Avalos, his family, and Dads Against Bluez for choosing to serve in the trenches and on the front lines of our Phoenix community.

Brother Ray grew up in the rough corridors of Phoenix surrounded by addiction, violence, and instability, with parents cycling in and out of prison and a childhood marked by foster care, chaos, and survival. As a teenager he dropped out of school, started selling meth, and was pulled deeper into the streets, guns, and gang culture that eventually led to an armed robbery case and a multi‑year prison sentence. Inside prison, Ray’s addiction escalated into heroin, his anger toward God hardened, and politics and drugs became his way of coping—but his family never stopped showing up for him, making sure he had commissary even when he used it to fuel his habit. When he was finally released, he came home determined not to go back, but alcohol, meth, and later fentanyl quickly dragged him and his wife into another cycle of violence, overdoses, probation violations, and repeated trips in and out of treatment. In this episode of Recovery On‑Air, Ray shares how a desperate car‑ride prayer and a worship song (“Rescue Story” by Zach Williams) became a turning point that opened him back up to God and led him into church, discipleship, and genuine accountability through sponsors, men’s groups, and the Twelve Steps. He talks about the grace he found in Pure Heart Church, the Chemical Imbalance men’s group, and local recovery leaders who refused to give up on him—even when he relapsed after professing faith and had to face his own abuse of God’s grace. #PrattPodcasting
