Description
Most people think danger looks obvious. Sometimes it looks like discipline, fitness… and a daily energy drink.
This week on I Am Redemption, Shawn Livingston sits down with San Antonio native, father, trainer, and boxing coach Casey Barnett—a man who looked healthy on the outside while quietly battling pills, alcohol, and isolation for years.
After finally confronting his substance use, Casey believed the hardest part was behind him. He re-committed to fitness. He rebuilt his life. By all appearances, he was “back.” Then something no one expected nearly took his life.
A daily dependency on energy drinks led to a devastating stroke—at the very peak of his physical condition.
In this raw conversation, Casey opens up about:
• Hiding addiction behind discipline
• Pills, alcohol, and silent isolation
• The stroke that nearly killed him
• Rebuilding mentally, physically, and spiritually
• Why he now chooses to live out loud
• Turning pain into purpose to help others
This episode is a powerful reminder that not everything dangerous looks destructive, and that real healing requires honesty at every level.
👉 Watch now and hear Casey’s full story.
