We want to thank of our sponsors and those who came out to support our 7th Annual Ryan Taylor Memorial Golf Tournament! After all the bills were paid, we raised $33,800 (net)!! We are so thankful for you!! Without you we would not be able to carry out our vision to have a community where every individual has access to the spiritual, emotional, and mental healing they deserve by not allowing lack of finances to be a barrier to treatment! We are only $1200 away from our goal of $35,000! If you did not get an opportunity to support, please click the link below.

“If you’re someone who feels hopeless or believes you might not make it, I want you to hear me. Your story is not over. The chapter you’re in right now doesn’t have to be the ending. Addiction will tell you that you’re too far gone, that you’ll never change, or that nobody cares. Those are lies.

If I’m honest, what stood in my way wasn’t just drugs or alcohol. It was the pain I was carrying that I never really dealt with. I lost people I loved. I watched relationships fall apart. I felt like I had let myself down, and instead of facing those emotions, I tried to escape them. I convinced myself I could carry everything on my own, but the weight kept getting heavier. What changed wasn’t one magical moment. I got tired of surviving and wanted to start living. I realized that if I wanted my life to change, I had to change. I had to stop making excuses, ask for help, lean on my faith, and take responsibility for my healing.

Today, sobriety means freedom. It means waking up with a clear mind. It means being able to chase my dreams, build my businesses, serve others, and become the man God created me to be. One of the things that reminds me to keep moving forward is golf. Golf connects me to my grandfather in a way that’s hard to explain. Every time I step onto the course, I think about patience, discipline, and taking life one shot at a time.

One bad shot doesn’t ruin the entire round, just like one mistake doesn’t define my life.

Golf reminds me that progress comes through consistency, humility, and perseverance. Recovery has taught me the same thing. Some days you may only be able to focus on making it through the next hour, and that’s okay. Keep going. I’m choosing recovery one day at a time. I’m choosing faith over fear. I’m choosing purpose over addiction. I’m choosing to believe that my past doesn’t disqualify me from the future God has for me.

If my story helps even one person believe they can make it through another day, then every battle I’ve fought has a greater purpose. Recovery has given me more than sobriety. It has given me my life back.”

Thanks to a kindhearted donor, Dre gets to play golf at Kingsmill next Friday and play in the Ryan Taylor Memorial Golf Tournament. If you want to join him and help support more stories like his, you can support the tournament at the link below. 🏌️

Today is the day! Tonight is Faith Recovery’s Safari Dinner. Before we gather, I want to thank the people and businesses who helped make this evening possible.

A special thank-you to JJ Harrison Investments, our lead sponsor, for making a significant investment in this event and the work of Faith Recovery. We are also incredibly grateful to Moody’s Kitchen & Catering, Trader Joe’s, and Events with Cait for helping bring tonight together. Their generosity helps remove barriers and create more opportunities for people in need of hope and recovery.

Even if you are not attending, please pray that God prepares the right hearts to give joyfully and that tonight creates a lasting impact. I would say, “Wish us luck,” but we know it has nothing to do with luck.

Now it’s time to turn Legacy Hall into a safari adventure! 🦒🌿

“There were times during my addiction when I would cry out and wonder when that change was going to come for me. I knew it was going to come. I just didn’t know when.

When I was in detox, some of the social workers and clinical staff were trying to get me to go to a different rehab. They kept telling me I needed to go somewhere else, but something in my heart told me I needed to be at Faith Recovery. When I got out of detox, I went home and called. I talked to Katina, and we went through the process. She said, ‘You can come tomorrow. Pack your bags.’

Less than 48 hours after leaving detox, I was in this program. That was the first time I really talked to God in a long time. And I didn’t even pray for myself. I prayed for my mom. I said, ‘God, please restore me. I know You have a purpose for me, but restore me so my mom can witness this.’ I wanted my mom to see me well again. I didn’t want her to have to worry about whether I was going to make it home, or if I was going to come home in a casket. I want her to see me. Not only sober, but walking with God and living the purpose He has set for me.

I’m thankful for Faith Recovery. It’s a blessing to be here. I look forward to making sober memories now. I made so many drunk memories, and the crazy thing about addiction is that we don’t always remember those memories. But the people who love us the most do.

I want to live the rest of my life making great memories.”

This is just one part of Brandon’s testimony.

Brandon also started Testimony 26, a brand created from a powerful moment in his own life and recovery journey. In this photo, he is wearing one of his Testimony 26 shirts. He has more he wants to do, more he wants to share, and a heart to use his story to encourage others.

There is HOPE.

For most people, turning 37 is just another birthday.
For Jorey, it means something more.

When I asked if there was anything he wanted to share, he said: "My mother passed away at 37 years old. And I'm very grateful for being alive and thankful for my family supporting me through the process."

Jorey is wearing a shirt that says "Hope."
Honestly, I can't think of a better word to describe his story. Hope is choosing to keep going when you've seen addiction up close. Hope is accepting help. Hope is believing your future can be different from your past. Hope is showing up and doing the work.

Jorey describes hope this way:
"Hope begins with the willingness to show up and to be in service and help others." When I asked what he would tell someone struggling with addiction, his answer was simple:

"Hang in there. I'm here if you need anything. I know a place that they will kindly take you in."

Today, we celebrate more than a birthday.
We celebrate a life. A family that never stopped supporting him. A future that is still being written. And the kind of hope that reminds us recovery is possible.

Happy 37th Birthday, Jorey! 🎂

While cleaning recently, I came across an old reflection written by a graduate years ago, back when we were known as Youth Challenge.

"The moment I arrive, having being late of expectancy, I felted the fear like every time before, the unknown of what's ahead of me entering the Youth Challenge program. The closer I got to facing that fear, the further the fear left. As I entered the program, staff welcomed me with open arms. Being in the moment, I felt loved, cared for, & a sense of worth. As days & nights went on, I got involved and began working my program."

What struck me wasn't the name at the top of the page. It was how familiar the story felt. I couldn't place the person who wrote it because, in many ways, it is so many people's story.

The writer described arriving afraid, unsure of what was ahead, and carrying low expectations. Then something changed. They wrote about being welcomed, cared for, loved, and discovering a sense of worth.

Over the years, names have changed. Buildings have changed. Programs have grown. But the heart of the work remains the same.

People arrive carrying fear. People discover hope.
People begin rebuilding their lives. Same God. Same mission. Same love for seeing lives rebuilt.

Thank you to every staff member, volunteer, supporter, donor, church partner, graduate, family member, and friend who has played a role in creating moments that lead to reflections like this one.

“The best part is that I got to keep my best friend.” That’s what Keith said when I asked him what the best part about getting clean with his sister was.

Keith and Iney have walked through loss, heartbreak, incarceration, and the long road of rebuilding through recovery. They have seen the highs and lows, lived the highs and lows, and allowed God to use their stories to help others find hope. Today, they are both down-to-earth, fearless advocates for men and women in recovery. They have educated themselves, grown through experience, and chosen to walk alongside people who are fighting for their lives, their families, and their futures.

Their heart is evident in everything they do. They fight for the people in their care like they are fighting for someone else to get to keep their best friend too.

We are so lucky to have Keith and Iney on our team, and we are thankful they continue to share the hope they found with everyone they meet.

There is hope. There is healing. There is a beautiful life after the adversity that comes with addiction. Here is the proof. 🙏

Not a gala or a fancy banquet.
Not a cookout or a party.
Not a famous speaker.

A gathering of neighbors.
A fundraiser of impact.
A breaking of bread.
A sharing of stories.

A fun, sober night filled with community, worship, creativity, and hope. Last year’s Luau was such a beautiful night. We laughed, worshiped, heard incredible stories, and watched a strong sense of community fill the room as people came together around one purpose: eliminating barriers to recovery.
This year, we are switching venues and themes, but we are keeping the same heart.

We are taking the tiki torches and heading into the safari and jungle, where the wild things are, to celebrate lives becoming wild and free!

Our Gathering for Good Safari Dinner will be a night filled with dinner, live music, client artwork, stories of hope, worship, and impact. It is more than an event. It is a reminder that recovery takes a village, and when that village comes together, people are given opportunities they may not have otherwise had.

Opportunities to enter care, to stay longer, and to receive support when barriers rise up. Opportunities to experience freedom.

For 48 years, Faith Recovery has had the privilege of walking with men and women as they rebuild, restore, and establish their lives in recovery. We have not made it 48 years because we are incredible. We have made it because our God is incredible, our community is incredible, and the clients we serve continue to show us the proof of freedom every single day.

We see God’s presence in this field. We see it in changed lives, restored families, courageous first steps, and the people who keep showing up to make recovery possible.

Join us Friday, July 31, for our Gathering for Good Safari Dinner.

Let’s gather.
Let’s break bread.
Let’s tell stories.
Let’s worship.
Let’s eliminate barriers to recovery.
Let’s see more people wild and free.

Imagine smoking a million dollars worth of crack and then building a business that made every bit of it back and more. Franky is always the first to give God glory for bringing him out of what he has been through.

He takes pride in sharing his story and has done so faithfully for many years. He knows how to make the most captivating contrasts between his addiction and his recovery.

Today, he is a loving husband, a proud and present father, and a businessman who leads with faith and integrity.

Last week, he encouraged everyone not to spend time looking down at their feet in shame, but instead to look up to God and embrace His grace and mercy.

Nineteen years later, his life is still preaching hope.

“I’m still learning.” It is a gracious reminder we have heard from clients, staff, and pastors alike.

Our clients are not the only ones being challenged and growing. Conferences like these allow the teachers to become the students, though the truth is we are always learning from the men and women we serve.

Earlier this month, members of our team invested in growth so they can continue serving others well.
Conor Yeomans and Travis Scott Hall attended the National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers conference in Florida, while Rachel, Kaitlin Leyden, and Caroline attended the American Society of Addiction Medicine conference in San Diego. One thing we value deeply is remaining humble and continuing to be students, while also remembering we are well equipped to serve the men and women in our programs.

We are thankful for a team that gives their all to what they do. Long hours, difficult problem solving, and carrying the weight of hard situations, yet continuing to show up because this is more than a job. It is a calling, an honor, and a reminder that the need is great and the workers are few.

Even more than conferences, our village, all of you, help make us the resource we are. Your support allows us to continue learning, growing, and showing up well for the people entrusted to our care. Thank you for supporting us in this mission!
