Josh Liljenquist joins us for a powerful conversation about addiction, homelessness, trauma, and the life changing impact of compassion. Josh is known for his “Live to Love” mission, where he uses social media to help people facing addiction, medical crises, housing instability, and sudden hardship.
In this interview, Josh shares the emotional story of Aaron, a close friend he met while doing outreach. After four years of friendship, Aaron finally said, “Today’s the day — I want to go to treatment.” Josh explains how consistent support, dignity, and human connection helped Aaron choose recovery.
Josh also talks about his broader mission: helping sick children, supporting families in crisis, raising funds for people who have lost everything, and even helping a man from Kansas who urgently needs a kidney after surviving cancer three times.
