You don't have to hit rock bottom to ask for help.

Some struggles are easier to hide than others. Po*******hy can become a private battle filled with guilt, shame, and the feeling that things will never change.

But freedom is possible through Jesus Christ.

Real change begins with bringing struggles into the light, building honest accountability, and developing a daily walk with God.

And when you stumble? Don't give up. Get back up, seek help, and keep moving forward.

Your past does not put you beyond God's mercy.

You don't have to fight this battle alone. 💙

You don’t have to wait until your life falls apart to ask for help.

If po*******hy has become a private struggle, we want you to know there is hope in Jesus Christ.

We want to help you bring that struggle into the light, grow in your daily walk with God, and build honest accountability with people who care.

Our article, “Freedom from Po*******hy: Learning to Walk with Christ,” offers biblical encouragement and practical steps to help you:

• Recognize temptation and prepare a response.
• Establish boundaries that support recovery.
• Develop daily habits of Scripture and prayer.
• Respond honestly after a failure and seek help.

Your past does not place you beyond God’s mercy. Take the next step toward freedom today.

We are thankful to share an encouraging step forward for RU Recovery Ministries.

RU is grateful to introduce Pastor Doug Knight as our Northeast RU Missionary.

Pastor Knight brings both local church leadership and years of RU experience to this role. From 2004 to 2012, he directed a thriving RU chapter that averaged 80 to 100 attendees each week and helped start and train recovery ministries throughout the Northeast. He has been in Pastoral ministry since 2017 and today serves as the Senior Pastor of Fellowship Baptist Church.

In this new role, Pastor Knight’s desire is to help strengthen existing RU chapters, assist churches interested in starting new recovery ministries, and encourage directors and workers who are faithfully laboring to reach individuals and families with the transforming power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

We are excited about what the Lord is doing and thankful for the opportunity to take this step forward together.

Please join us in welcoming Pastor Doug Knight as the Northeast RU Missionary.

Recently at RU, we received this powerful testimony:

“As a child, I remember staring into the mirror, feeling empty and unsure of who I was. I grew up in church and accepted Christ at 12 years old, but even then, I struggled with confusion, poor choices, and a heart searching for something more.

Through recovery, I’ve learned it’s not just about breaking habits, it’s about healing the heart. It’s about finding your true identity in Christ and allowing Him to turn your pain into purpose.

God wasn’t finished with me… and He’s not finished with you either.”

There is hope. There is healing. There is freedom.

1. If God’s against it, so am I!
2. Every sin has its origin in the heart.
3. It is easier to keep the heart clean than to clean it after it has been defiled.
4. We cannot fight a fleshly appetite by indulging in it.
5. Small compromises lead to great disasters.
6. Those who do not love the Lord will not help us serve the Lord.
7. Our sinful habits do hurt those who follow us.
8. It is not possible to fight a fleshly temptation with fleshly weapons.​
9. We lose our freedom to choose when we give in to temptation. Our consequences are inevitable and incalculable and up to God.
10. God balances guilt with blame. Accept the blame for your actions and God will remove the guilt.
