About Faith Recovery Now
At Faith Recovery Now, our Christian recovery mentorship, we teach that true freedom from alcohol and addiction cannot be found in human programs alone, but only in the saving grace of Jesus Christ. God’s law shows us the reality of our sin, revealing our weakness and the ways we fall short. Yet the gospel brings hope: through Christ’s death and resurrection, we are offered forgiveness, strength, and the power to overcome sin and addiction. Our mission is to proclaim this hope, rightly dividing law and gospel; reminding you that while God’s law convicts, Christ alone redeems and restores.

Faith-based recovery from alcohol
True freedom from alcohol will never come from human resolve but from God’s sovereign grace. Left to ourselves, we are enslaved to sin, powerless to change. But by His mercy, God calls His people out of darkness and into the light of Christ. Faith-based recovery is not about self-reform but about God’s transforming work — He grants repentance, He renews the heart, and He sustains the believer by His Spirit. Without Christ, there is no hope; in Christ, there is certain victory.
Our Theology
We are unapologetically rooted in the Reformed tradition, and at the heart of our recovery approach is the life-changing truth of the law and the gospel. The law exposes our sin, our weakness, and our inability to overcome addiction on our own. It shows us just how powerless we are, how desperately we need a Savior. But the gospel shines brighter. It proclaims that Jesus Christ lived the perfect life we could not, bore the punishment we deserve, and freely offers His righteousness to all who believe.
This is the foundation of true, lasting recovery. Not through sheer willpower, not through man-made steps, but through the transforming power of Christ alone. When we surrender to Him, our chains are broken, our hope is renewed, and we are set free from the guilt, shame, and despair that addiction brings. In Christ, there is restoration, there is purpose, and there is life. A life that is no longer defined by our struggles, but by His grace, mercy, and victory. We will give an account one day, and this truth reminds us of our need for Christ’s saving power now.
A Message of Hope
No matter your past or your struggles, there is hope in Christ. You are not defined by addiction but by the grace of God that saves sinners and restores lives. At Faith Recovery Now, we proclaim a message of Christian recovery for everyone, one that lifts weary souls from despair and anchors them in the promises of God’s Word.
Jesus, Not the Steps Book
Book Overview
Jesus, Not the Steps: Why Christ, Not AA, is the True Path to Breaking Alcohol Addiction is available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. This book explains why Christ alone can set you free and offers hope for those struggling with addiction.
Jesus, Not the Steps is a bold and deeply personal challenge to the recovery status quo. This grace-filled book proclaims that true freedom from addiction doesn’t come through a program, a sponsor, or a higher power, but through Jesus Christ alone.
With compassion and clarity, it explores why 12-step recovery often replaces the gospel with human effort, and how even well-meaning programs can obscure the finished work of Christ. It calls readers to trade spiritual confusion for the clear and powerful truth of salvation by grace through faith.
Whether you’re in recovery, love someone who is, or are simply searching for truth, Jesus, Not the Steps points to the only One who saves, heals, and restores: the risen Savior.
