ABOUT US
-
In my early teens, I recognized struggles already present in my life that went against God’s word and began asking to have them taken away. They didn’t change nor leave.
-
In my mid-teens, the struggles persisted, yet I began growing tired of my actions. I knew and wanted the blood of Christ to cleanse me of my sins. However, my struggles remained.
-
In my late teens, the shame and guilt of my actions continued to grow. I believed I could make up for my failures by trying to live perfectly. It doesn’t work that way.
-
I married young with the thought that my problems would go away. It didn’t work that way, and my marriage failed while my shame and guilt grew. My anger towards God also increased.
-
I had remarried by the age of 30. I hoped that this time, I could be the husband, father, and child of God I know I’m called to be. I couldn’t stop the struggles.
-
I tried to do good to make up for my sins. I prayed. I “went to church”. I blamed my struggles on others. I even blamed God.
-
At rock bottom, I discovered I had a strong wife who wouldn’t give up on the power of our God. I had men who had walked down a similar road who wouldn’t give up on me either. However, when I gave up and surrendered to God, and told Him “I have no more”, then He began healing me.
-
He opened my eyes to counseling, recovery programs, and, most importantly, FORGIVENESS.
-
I was not alone in my battle, and neither are you. You are surrounded by men that have walked that hard road. You have a God that is patient and merciful. We need to share our struggles and victories, and we need a safe place to do that. That is “why” this program was started.
By God’s grace, I write this,
