Today was something I’ll never forget.

Rooted in Grace celebrated our FIRST EVER graduate.

Cyril walked across that stage as the first alumni in the history of this ministry.

But God.

That’s the story.

Because what we witnessed wasn’t behavior modification. It wasn’t someone just “getting cleaned up.” It was transformation.

A real encounter with Jesus changes everything.

“Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” Philippians 1:6

Cyril is living proof that no one is too far gone, no story is too broken, and no life is beyond the reach of God’s grace.

To watch him grow into a worshipper, a brother, a worker, and a bold man of God has been incredible. Seeing him persevere, push through struggles, stay faithful, and become the man we celebrated today has been one of the greatest faith builders for all of us.

And what makes this even more special… he’s our first.

The first graduate.
The first alumni.
The first testimony of what God can do through Rooted in Grace.

But he will not be the last.

Today wasn’t just about Cyril’s graduation.
It was proof that transformation is possible.
Proof that Jesus still restores.
Proof that dead things can live again.

So proud of you, Cyril.

Go walk in everything God has for you.

Rooted in Grace Recovery and Discipleship Center began with a vision to help men rebuild their lives through faith, structure, accountability, and community support. What started as a launch fundraiser has now turned into something incredible by the grace of God, we are operating at MAX CAPACITY.

Since opening our doors, we have watched lives begin to transform. Our men are working jobs, attending counseling, obtaining their driver’s licenses, rebuilding relationships, and becoming productive members of the community again. We are beyond proud to share that we even have our very first TWO graduates coming up soon.

As the need in our community continues to grow, so does the need for expansion. We have already begun working toward expanding our facility so we can continue helping more men who are desperately seeking a second chance. Along with expansion, we are also facing major roof repairs that cannot wait.

Every donation helps provide:
• Safe and stable housing
• Recovery support and discipleship
• Transportation to jobs, court, counseling, and appointments
• Daily living essentials
• Facility improvements and expansion
• Critical roof repairs

We have come such a long way in such a short time, and we truly believe this is only the beginning. Your support directly impacts the lives of men fighting to overcome addiction, homelessness, incarceration, and hopelessness.

Here are some updated pictures from day one to now. You guys have truly been with us every step of the way, and we could never thank this community enough for the love, prayers, encouragement, and support you’ve shown us throughout this journey.

Help us continue changing lives. Help us help them.

Thank you for believing in restoration, redemption, and second chances.

Recovery isn’t easy, and it doesn’t happen overnight. It takes determination, accountability, and a willingness to change and Skylor has shown all of that and more. We are beyond proud of the man he is becoming and excited to see what God continues to do in his life.

Stories like this are exactly why Rooted in Grace exists.

Keep pushing forward, Skylor. Your future is bright.

What a powerful day at the Saline County Broken to Blessed outreach event.

We were able to take the guys from Rooted in Grace, worship together, laugh together, and just enjoy what God is doing. There’s something special about seeing people who once felt hopeless lifting their hands in worship and walking in freedom.

So thankful for everyone who helped put this event together and for every person who poured out today. The presence of God was real, the worship was powerful, and the fellowship was even better.

Days like this remind us that recovery is about more than getting clean. It’s about finding new life, new purpose, and a new family in Christ.

A lot of smiles, a lot of memories, and a whole lot of grace.
