👉 Even if you don't think there's a way forward...

👉 Even if you've thought "maybe this is just how my life will be..."

Freedom Recovery is book we developed "in the trenches" while helping HUNDREDS find freedom from the hurts, habits, and hangups of the past, so they could walk unhindered into their full potential.

We tested and tweaked it, adjusting the lessons and adapting the ACTION STEPS at the end of each chapter, over and over, until we got the REAL RESULTS we wanted to see!

The fruit of the program =

💥 Heroine addicts free and leading in ministry = done!

💥Pain killers for a legit medical condition turned into a full-blown addiction = gone!

💥 Alcoholism- no more!

💥 Suicidal thoughts, depression, shame + guilt and / or voices in the mind- erased and silenced!

💥 Porn addictions- vanished!

💥 Priorities out of whack- marriages restored, families rebuilt!

Two decades ago, I began working at a church in downtown Birmingham. Though most of the people who initially attended would be considered "middle class" and "from the suburbs," it didn't long before we bumped into areas that commonly flood urban areas...

‼️ Alcoholism and addicts 

‼️ Homelessness

‼️ Heroine and other hard drugs

‼️ Prostitutes who wanted to find a way out

‼️ Recently released felons who needed someone to help them with a hand-up instead of a hand-out

‼️ People harming themselves to "feel something" after a string of life events that left them numb to feeling anything at all

As we began to help the people who kept showing up, we realized that many of the issues weren't "inner city" issues at all, they were "all of us" issues. Some people just hide the struggles better than others... 

The church changed dramatically over about an 18-month period, as we opened the doors-- literally. 

People coming off the streets, out of addictions, and even from the legal system moved in to our warehouse. We replaced classrooms with dorms, we opened job development programs, and we explored what it really looked like to help people practically walk away from the hurts, habits, and hangups that held them back, so they could step into who God designed them to be.

Many of our residents were court-ordered to attend a 12-step program. 

Most of them-- even those who weren't mandated to do so-- wanted or needed one. 

We wanted a tool that-- 

✅ Was built around the 12-steps model (it's time-tested, people recognize it, and it provides a great framework)

✅ Was flooded with the grace and redemption we talked about-- such that it was woven throughout the steps 

✅ Was practical-- and gave participants actual checklists of action steps they could take-- not to earn their freedom and wholeness but so they could identity what to do next AND would be able to tangibly see their progress 

✅ Was "whole" in the sense that we all have a body, a soul, and a spirit... and each of these areas impact us AND must each be addressed throughout the healing process

While there were MANY great resources available to us, we couldn't find the one that worked for us. So, as we had done with many of our other classes, we began developing that tool. 

The result was-- IS-- Freedom Recovery.

Freedom Recovery is-- 

⚙️ Practical = it provides core content AND simple steps you can take to "walk out" what you learn

💜 Grace-infused = it teaches that the same grace that forgives our past also empowers our present and future

⭐️ Results-backed = it's worked for hundreds of others and will work for you (we helped 1,000+ people through that transition program in the first seven years)

The resource has been used in a variety of settings--

🏛️multiple recovery centers

🙏 churches

🔗 small groups

📓 individual self-study

First, we're going to define where you are now!

Before heading anywhere, you've got to "own" where you are now. There's no shame in it- this is simply our starting point for the journey!

Here's another part of defining current reality, as well: your story has power now- and it's going to have MORE power later...

Your freedom-story will become the roadmap for someone else walking the same path you've trekked.

Second, we'll look down the road- and see where it is that you're about to go!

Aim at nothing, you'll succeed every time.

On the other hand, the Bible tells us that if we commit our ways to the Lord, our plans are certain to succeed. And, we read that He can do immeasurably beyond anything we can ask, think, or imagine. 

Third, as you walk through this 12-step program, you'll use the tools at the end of each chapter to make your day-by-day plan for that week!

Since you know what you're going to do each day, you won't find yourself with "idle time" and a wandering mind.

You'll find yourself focusing on the things that you've decided matter the most to you, and you'll work on them every single day (at the pace you set).

Fourth, finally, you're going to see movement... movement that turns into momentum!

The more small steps you take, the greater the change will be. Sure, some of the steps are so small that the distance between two of them is virtually unnoticable (this is why so many people IGNORE them- they don't think small changes actually matter).

In time, you won't recognize who you've become!

Creator | Freedom Recovery

This resource is unique for a few reasons. 

First, Freedom Recovery was "pulled together" from a variety of resources while practically helping people overcome the hurts, the habits, and the hangups that hindered them from walking into their full potential-- as image bearers of the Creator. 

These people all came from a variety of backgrounds... 

Some from the city's streets, some from incarceration, some from upper-middle class suburbs, some you wouldn't ever dream of carrying a hidden addiction.

Second, Freedom Recovery was refined over and over as I walked out my own healing journey. 

After leaving second the transitional facility where I worked (and developed training resources), I often told myself, "If I could go back and do it again, I would be sure to integrate what I've learned about post traumatic stress, guilt and shame, and so much more that I've learned while walking through my own healing process..."

After a few years of being "out" of the field of recovery, a friend called, wanting to use the resource in his center (300+ residents). I refined the tools yet again...

Third, Freedom Recovery is comprehensive and teaches total wholeness. 

👉 You have a body, a soul, and a spirit. God intends to redeem and restore all three (see 1 Thessalonians 5:23).

👉 You will only be "as strong" as the weakest" part (3 John 2). Sometimes, our spirit is strong, but our body craves something and leads us back to the addiction. Or, our soul (emotions) get triggered and we find ourselves walking back into the familiar traps.

👉 You must live from the overflow of what's happening inside of you-- as you become more "whole" and more "fully you," rather than looking outside for affirmation and acceptance (Philippians 2:12).
