Wednesday Graduate Spotlight
Meet Logan, a kind, hard working friend. His drug use started when he was only 14 years old, then one night his life was forever changed by the goodness of God! Read his story and know it’s not too late!

“For me it all started in a chicken coop at 14 years old, trying drugs for the first time and for years I’d just laugh it off when someone said it was just a gateway drug. Then 6 years later I would be introduced to a harder drug and my life would forever change from that day forward. I didn’t care about anything, I sold my car and I stole from my family members to feed my addiction. That went on forever years living in darkness until i was blinded by a flashlight by the Monroe County DTF as they raided my house and thought I was for sure on the next bus for TDOC but my ride out of the jail was with the one and only Stephen Dees taking me to True Purpose Ministries.

There I learned it’s not about religion it’s about a relationship with The Living God. I was the prodigal son coming home. I was given new clothes and shoes. I was fed. Mentally I was still lost at this moment cause all this was still new to me, but spiritually I had been found. Later I had come to find out it was true. Whoever you hang around you become just alike because the word of God tells us in 1st Corinthians 15:33 that “ bad company corrupts good character.” I was like a child who just needed to soak in all the milk and honey I was being given and not just work the program for the courts sake but let the program work me for my own sake and make sure these seeds are planted on good fertile soil. I am a son of God I have learned to walk in humility with integrity.”

Wednesday’s Graduate Spotlight
Meet Alec, a man who once had a life that was wrapped around himself and his addiction. Now he is one of the most giving, helpful, kind hearted men you would ever encounter. Read how God changed his life and gave him restoration!

“Before True Purpose nothing was working for me anymore, the drugs, my family, my job, and even my mind. I was lost without a cause, I had a one track mind that was extremely impulsive. I was no longer a thoughtful person I only cared about bringing myself pleasure. In my early 20s with no ambition, and little grasp on a reality I didn't even view as possible. I pretended to be a father without actually providing, I pretended to be a friend without actually being there for anyone. I pretended to be a man without having any boundaries, control, or stability.

While I was at True Purpose I learned the way to live life, the truth about life, and began to understand the life I've been given. True Purpose was the conduit for Jesus Christ to come in to my life..it ended up being my life line gave me time to look at my life from a paused perspective with clarity. The program taught me to get to know GOD not just in a religion but as a Heavenly Father who loves me, only through his word and the men of God around me was I able to change. I received a revalation that instead of trying to control my life. Hand the controller over ( my mind, will, and emotions) to the Creator.

After 1 year in the program I have changed dramatically. My heart is set on providing for my family, and my mind is focused on the good things in life. Intentionally thinking on how to better the people around me and bettering myself. My emotions are consistent I'm no longer depressed, anxious, or angry at the world. Because I have a choice now not to be lead by emotions, or everything the world's put in front of our eyes to entice and distract us just to leave you empty. God's restored everything.. all the stuff I need to survive while also restoring my relationships. I'm so thankful for True Purpose and all of their staff but only through Jesus Christ was this change possible and this program lead me right to Him.”

Wednesday’s Graduate Spotlight
Meet Alan, who is the frontline of True Purpose Ministries. Before he was on staff, the world tried to label him with lies. Now he walks in freedom, stepping the path that God has laid out for him. Read is story below and know you are not the labels!

“My name is Alan Clinton. I’m 35 Years old and still learning who I Am! As I take steps into further grasping and growing into who I was created to be, it begins to eliminate who I AM NOT!

I’m Not Broken!

I’m Not a Hot Mess!

I’m Not a Mistake!

I’m Not Irreparable!

I’m Not an Alcoholic!

But there were seasons of life where this was my reality and understanding of who I was. Early in high school I met a young lady who swindled my heart and began a roller coaster ride of a lifetime. For over a year we grew up as friends and developed (what I thought) strong feelings for each other. I remember her always telling me, “I’m just not ready for a relationship”, which I did not understand, but figured Oh well, since the relationship appeared to be continually ascending into Bliss!! Until it didn’t…

Early into my senior year, I found out that this young lady had a boyfriend who also went to our school. At the time, I did not have a great relationship with my father and had nowhere to turn. I began to believe that I was the problem. Maybe I’m Broken. Maybe I’m the Mistake. I was introduced into a reality that I was emotionally unprepared and unequipped to handle properly. I vowed to never allow this to happen again and became my personal internal bodyguard: Alcohol became my largest shield.

Over time, this shield became heavier and much more costly. The toll fee increased: What once only asked for a yes, now required my time, my finances, my dreams, my relationships and my dignity! That which once appeared as protection, slowly turned into the assassin. I swirled deeper into cycles that gripped me tighter with each progression, claiming me as its own. In those brief moments where I could come up for air, I began seeking help, only for those turbulent waves of alcoholism to drag me back underneath.

But God!!! I was already being loved while I was building a solid case as to why I was so unlovable!! I turned to Jesus because I honestly had nowhere else to turn and needed a life raft from the one who claimed to be Life Himself! I was never in charge of changing me, all that He required was my yes! I have been drug/alcohol free since March,17 2020.”
