My story
Founder: Simon Richardson
I know this pain because I've lived it.
I was a pastor. For years, I stood in front of people every week and talked about grace, about restoration, about God meeting us in our weakness. And I believed it — I just didn't believe it applied to me the way it applied to everyone else.
When the trauma came, and the addiction followed, I tried to manage it the way I'd been trained to manage everything else in ministry — privately, through sheer will and prayer, as though it were simply a problem I could think or believe my way out of on my own terms. I told myself I had it under control. I told myself I had to, because pastors don't get to fall apart. Except I was falling apart, and eventually, I lost everything. The ministry. The calling. The identity I'd built my entire life around.
There was a night when the pain finally became more than I could carry, and I didn't want to go on. I don't say that lightly, and I don't say it for effect — I say it because it's true, and because the next morning, waking up in a hospital bed, something became clear to me that I'd never fully understood before: this wasn't only a mental health problem, and it wasn't only an emotional one. Underneath all of it, it was spiritual. And all the theology in the world hadn't prepared me for what it actually feels like to need rescue.
That's when everything changed. I sought Christian help — real, honest, unhurried help — and that's exactly what I received. It didn't erase the road ahead of me, but it gave me a foundation to walk it on, one day at a time, with people who didn't flinch at my honesty and a God who met me in the wreckage instead of waiting for me to clean it up first.
I built this place because I needed it and couldn't find it — somewhere that didn't separate the spiritual from the practical, that understood what it's like to lose not just your sobriety but your calling, and that spoke to the whole family, not just the addict. A place that never once made anyone feel too far gone to belong, because I know what it's like to believe you are.
What full recovery actually looks like
Recovery isn't just abstaining. It's becoming whole — restored in mind, in relationships, and in spirit. That kind of recovery isn't something willpower produces alone. It's something God does, through prayer, through scripture, through honest community, and through the slow, steady work of showing up day after day.
This isn't a promise that the road will be easy. It's a promise that it's possible — because it was possible for me, and I've watched it become possible for others too.
A community without judgment
Whatever brought you here — your own addiction, a spouse's, a child's, a parent's — you will not be judged for how you got here or how long it's taken. This is a place for the genuinely hurting, not the already-fixed. No performance required. No pretending. Just honest people, walking an honest road, together.
