Look back at every major transition in your life— good or bad— and it probably has more to do with a PERSON than an “raw” decision.

Or, to say it another way, PEOPLE are a profound influence on our lives.

Here’s why:

God is relational AND we are created in His image. That means we are relational beings…

… and we weren't designed to “do life” alone.

❤️‍🔥

Relationships are an accelerator when it comes to re-entry, too…

So, we try to keep our graduates connected to OTHER graduates, others who’ve walked the same terrain, who have figured out some things AND ALSO are working on others.

Out of prison?

One of the biggest factors we’ve seen in who makes it and who doesn’t is sobriety— get rid of the addiction.

Another big factor?

Relationships— surround yourself with people who are moving in the direction you want to go. Don’t even TRY to swim against the stream. Find a current you can stay in and keep moving.
