ABOUT US
Rethinking Recovery
​
Everyone is in recovery from something. When we recognize this, together we will be able to heal the world. We are rethinking recovery and the role faith plays in the healing journey of those struggling with addiction, mental health, suicidal thoughts and trauma. Educating, equipping and empowering those that walk alongside them in order to see lives set free and transformed.
​
We believe in a trauma-informed, faith-based recovery approach. It is an approach that integrates spiritual beliefs and practices with the principles of trauma-informed care. It recognizes the importance of the individuals story.
Trauma can impact the physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual well-being. This recovery emphasizes safety, trustworthiness, community, collaboration, and empowerment, while also respecting the individuals healing journey..

We all have a story, what is yours?
Person-Centered Care Advocate
I have seen the struggles my father has faced in a culture that doesn’t take kindly to mental illness. My brother battles his own dysfunctional relationship with heroin. I have witnessed how quickly people can slip into homelessness, isolation, depression, and addiction.

OUR STORY
In 2018, when Amanda was pursuing her PhD and George was the director of the Timothy Initiative, they met for the first time and almost immediately (24 hours later to be exact) came together over a passion to see the world changed. Both faith-based and the systems of recovery that existed to help those that were struggling were not working and there needed to be a bridge between science and faith to make the world a better place. After that initial meeting, both George and Amanda realized that their contrasting worldviews were actually more similar than they realized and that when together, they brought out the best of each other. And after many hours of conversation, the Sober Truth Project was formed. Since its initial stages, it's always been about changing the way the world looks at recovery.
Why take the Journey?
Recovery is for everyone. Because at its core, recovery is the gospel. You may never struggle with drug or alcohol addiction, anxiety or depression, or suicidal thoughts or ideation. But as a human, you probably still know what it’s like to struggle—and you may be called to help the entire world learn to see recovery differently.
