Darren Hobbs’ story is a powerful journey through addiction, incarceration, surrender, recovery, intervention work, and helping families find hope in the middle of chaos. For years, Darren lived a double life—bartender by day, drug dealer by night—while cocaine and alcohol controlled nearly every decision he made. After a 2010 arrest left him facing decades in prison, Darren found himself alone in a jail cell, broken, desperate, and finally willing to ask God to change him instead of his circumstances. What followed was a series of unlikely events, second chances, mentors, recovery, and a calling to help others. Today, Darren is a board-certified interventionist, founder of The Firm Nashville, and one of the leading voices helping families navigate addiction and recovery.
