The Hero's Journey: From Recovery to Redemption

Where are you?

Many people in recovery from addiction or trauma make the mistake of thinking the goal is their sobriety or freedom from trauma triggers. But that keeps the focus on them.

We believe your recovery is only the beginning of your Hero’s Journey leading to a redemptive life spent letting God use your story for His glory. Why? To serve others.

Where are you on your journey? And what’s your goal? To just get help, or to get help so you can one day give help? Join us. We need more heroes and hero-makers.

“I came to you for help. Now I'm healthy and mentoring others.”
