A long-form conversation with Savannah Ford, whose life once revolved around addiction, incarceration, and the belief that she didn’t really matter.

Savannah talks about growing up in Sevier County, years of IV drug use and repeated overdoses, serving time in jail, and what it was like to walk out with no structure—and fall right back into the cycle. She reflects on the moment a court decision diverted her into treatment, the slow work of accountability and faith, and why staying—long after the program ended—changed everything.

Today, Savannah works on staff at FOCUS Ministries, helping other women navigate the same road she once walked.

This conversation is part of The Redemption Project—a podcast about real people, real consequences, and the long, imperfect work of change.
