A message from our founder:
When I look back on my sobriety journey, I think I can honestly say neither I nor probably most people around me would have bet on me ever making it to this moment.
Who would have known that on that heavy-laden date, with lights in the rearview mirror, it would become the pivot point that would bring us here 3,375 days later of continual sobriety?
God would.
Who would have known that exactly six years later, in the same week I made the decision to share my story in a small room, in a small town, in the middle of nowhere America, we would be closing out the final lesson of Navigate Freedom’s 2.0 curriculum?
God would.
Who would have known that a prayer asking God to somehow use one of the most difficult chapters of my life, even if it only made a tangible difference for one soul, would grow into more than 650 people being touched through one God-called step of faith?
God would.
Who would have known that the very things the world is often quickest to disqualify us for could become some of the very things God would use to prepare us to do His will?
God would.
Who would have known that one humble decision, mixed with a pretty deep determination to keep going, could eventually become a lighthouse helping people young and old, from different races, backgrounds, stories, struggles, and walks of life navigate toward restoration and begin finding value in their lives again?
God would.
And that is the thing.
His will. His way. It prevails.
Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, can separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Sometimes that is exactly what somebody needs to be reminded of.
Imagine what it would feel like to know you are LOVED.
To know you can be FORGIVEN.
To realize you do not have to spend the rest of your life identifying yourself by your shame, your pain, your addiction, your failures, or the worst chapter of your story.
Imagine discovering VICTORY THROUGH THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST.
Imagine knowing that your past does not get the final word.
Imagine those chains of despair, grief, anguish, fear, shame, and sin finally beginning to break.
What would it feel like to finally understand that freedom really is possible?
That is why Navigate Freedom exists.
To remind people that they are NEVER ALONE and STRONGER TOGETHER.
To remind people that they were created in the image of God, that Christ still calls people out of darkness, and that your identity does not have to remain chained to where you have been.
Tonight we officially close the book on Navigate Freedom’s 2.0 curriculum.
For me, that carries a whole lot more weight than simply finishing another curriculum.
It is another marker along a road I never could have mapped out for myself.
And I cannot wait to see what God does with the next chapter.
So if you have been part of Freedom Ministries, Navigate Freedom, sat in one of those rooms, shared your story, prayed with us, challenged us, encouraged us, showed up broken, showed up hopeful, or simply kept coming back...
Thank you.
You are part of this story.
And if you are still standing on the outside wondering whether there could possibly be something more for your life...
If God can do this with my story, maybe it is worth asking what He still wants to do with yours.
And if somewhere inside you there is still a part wondering whether freedom, restoration, forgiveness, or a different direction is actually possible...
Welcome to Navigate Freedom... Come walk with us.
You don't have to have it all figured out.
You just have to be willing to take the next step.
“For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 1:6, NASB1995
Sincerely,
P.S. ~ A sinner saved by grace and still being sanctified.
Get Free. Stay Free.
Never Alone. Stronger Together.
