Alcohol brought me to OARS Rehab to get help. I renewed my relationship with God in the process. Steadfast HOPE also was a part of my recovery.

Jonathan's nonprofit, Steadfast HOPE, has been a huge blessing to not only me but my family as well. It has equipped me to be a better man that I strive to be each and every day. I'm grateful to know Jonathan as a brother in Christ who I can learn and grow from spiritually. His willingness to serve truly makes Steadfast HOPE impactful beyond comparison.

Steadfast HOPE has been a great help to me. I have been encouraged by having someone come alongside me, as I walked through new uncertainties and seasons of life. I am also better equipped, with a strong model to follow, as a husband and a leader.
