A couples testimony at a Celebrate Recovery meeting can be incredibly powerful because it shows both personal recovery and relational healing. The most effective testimonies are honest, hopeful, Christ-centered, and focused on what God has done—not just the pain or details of the struggle.

Join us this coming Tuesday, May 19 to hear from leaders Mike & Jeannine Vollmer from Restoration Christian Church in Joliet share their powerful story!

💚 Mental Health Monday / Mental Health Awareness Month Kickoff 💚

Week 1: Awareness That Leads to Action

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. But awareness alone doesn’t change anything. Action does.

Awareness says:
“I see the struggle”
Action says:
“I’m going to do something about it”

That doesn’t mean doing everything at once.
It means choosing one step toward healing.

This month, that might look like:
• finally reaching out to a Sponsor
• reconnecting with an Accountability Partner
• attending a meeting you’ve been avoiding
• being honest about where you actually are mentally
• asking for help instead of pushing through alone

You don’t have to fix your whole life this month.
One honest step toward what needs care is enough.

Healing doesn’t happen all at once
It happens one honest decision at a time

✨ Try this today:
Choose one action that supports your mental health and follow through on it
Not perfectly.
Just intentionally.

💬 Let’s talk:
What is one action you’re committing to this month for your mental health?
