Rob Decker survived what should have killed him — a headfirst jump from a third‑story window after false accusations and years of addiction, trauma, and chaos. His fall was altered by an awning, a moment he now sees as divine intervention. After waking in the hospital with a shattered spine, collapsed lung, and broken arms, Rob experienced a supernatural moment of peace that changed his life. But sobriety didn’t come instantly. For five years, Rob battled addiction while trying to rebuild his identity. His turning point came on January 8, 2013, when — intoxicated and hiding under a porch — he cried out to God and felt the weight of addiction lift. That moment marked the beginning of true recovery, forgiveness, and purpose. Today, Rob is the founder of Rise As Lions, a nonprofit that helps people affected by addiction, trauma, and mental health challenges find community, connection, and hope. Through programs like Recovery Rebels Softball, Rob shows how healing often begins when people finally feel like they belong.
