"Not to us, Lord, not to us, but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness."

My Time at Kingdom Recovery House

When I came to Kingdom Recovery House, I was fresh out of prison, unsure of what the next chapter of my life would look like. I was broken, lost, and desperate for a new way of living. What I found at Kingdom was more than just a place to stay — it was a place of transformation, healing, and hope.

The house was full of like-minded women who were walking through recovery just like me. It was a recovery-based, faith-filled environment, and for the first time in my life, I had the space to learn how to build and nurture a real relationship with God.

Chris and Marci, who own and run the house, were truly the hands and feet of Jesus in my life. They led weekly Bible studies at the house, shared their own powerful testimonies, and offered us something we desperately needed — hope. They weren’t just leaders; they were examples. People we could look up to, talk to, and trust. Whenever something came up, they were there to listen, guide, and support us without judgment. They were — and still are — the best role models anyone could ask for.

Kingdom Recovery House didn’t just help me stay clean; it laid a foundation for long-term success. It taught me how to walk through life with Christ, how to find strength in community, and live a life rooted in purpose and grace.

Today, I’m not only sober — I’m spiritually alive, walking with God, and becoming the woman He always intended me to be. I’m forever grateful for Kingdom, for Chris and Marci, and for the new life I have today.

I’ve lived in a Kingdom Recovery house two different times. Both times I was seeking something different from the sober living homes I had experienced before. I wanted to deepen my relationship with God, and Kingdom Recovery provides a safe, loving space for this spiritual transformation. Chris and Marci’s approach to sober living is unique; they teach us how to apply biblical principles to our everyday situations. They guide us to Jesus and encourage us to pray for strength, understanding, and forgiveness. 

I returned to Kingdom Recovery after the birth of my second daughter. During this time, they supported me through difficult moments and reminded me to place my trust in Jesus. I have since regained custody of my daughter and am now preparing to be the mother God is calling me to be.

I have grown so much since coming into Kingdom Recovery a little over a year ago. I've accomplished things I never thought I would have and I have built a foundation for the rest of my life through this faith-based recovery program.

I have developed a strong relationship with God. I knew I needed that, but I was also on the fence about fully believing and giving myself to Christ. Through my counseling with Pastor Mike Dean, all my questions and concerns have been answered (and I asked a lot). I now understand many things that kept me from fully committing before, leading to a significant spiritual transformation.

Chris and Marci are so loving, understanding, and forgiving. They have been like family to me—something I didn't know I needed. If it hadn't been for them supporting and helping me along the way, I don't think I'd have made it this far. Being at Kingdom Recovery has changed my life and prepared me for life in a way I've never experienced or thought possible, especially in the context of sober living homes. I will be eternally grateful!

Kingdom Recovery is truly an answered prayer in my journey of faith-based recovery. While I was in an inpatient recovery facility, I prayed for guidance on the next steps to take, seeking to become the best mother I could be for my children. 

It was no coincidence that during that very week at church, the pastor shared information about a new recovery house that was about to open: Kingdom Recovery. 

Living in this home, I experienced the love of Jesus and became part of a family. I found sisters in Christ who I still communicate with today. 

Most importantly, I underwent a spiritual transformation by learning how to build my life on the foundation of Christ. I discovered my identity as a daughter of the Most High. 

Since leaving Kingdom Recovery, I’ve successfully regained custody of my daughter and am now able to teach her about the love of God. What the enemy intended for harm, God has truly used for good through this journey of sober living.

I came to Kingdom Recovery about 9 months ago, seeking a faith-based recovery program. I was determined to do whatever it took to stay sober and strengthen my relationship with the Lord. With my faith and His guidance, I have achieved that goal. However, I learned that faith without works is dead, so I committed to attending meetings, church, and counseling with Small Voice Ministries. As Proverbs 3:5-6 teaches us: Trust in the Lord with all your heart; and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. I've never felt more free and at peace on this journey of spiritual transformation.

My name is Brandy. I stayed at the Kingdom House for 8 months. I came in after rehab. I had no clue about Jesus at that time and I was honest about that. Chris and Marci gave me a chance anyway. Being in the Kingdom House taught me so much but most of all it taught me how much Jesus loves me. I don’t have faimly because in my active addiction I ran them away and also I grew up in an abusive home. I seemed to always be locked up or getting into trouble.I felt alone before Kingdom House. We worshipped and I learn what real relationships with good people and having a family was like. Mostly I learned that I never had to be alone again. I got therapy from the Pastor which helped me and I got saved by him which the house kindly provides. I felt like a person for the first time in my life because of Jesus leading me there to those nice people who run Kingdom House. I haven’t lived at Kingdom House for a year and a half but I stay in touch with my sisters in Christ that lived with me there at the time. One sadly has passed after leaving Kingdom House because of going back to active addiction. We all miss her very much. I also stay in touch with Chris and Marci and they are the kindest people I know. If you are confused about you’re path and we’re anything like me, then I recommend this place to you. I never thought I would believe but here I am still, praying
