What happens when someone realizes they are not alone
“I have thought I was alone for so long, but hearing that your experience is similar to mine has given me hope.”
—Melinda
We’re all addicted to something.
Everyone has "a thing."
We all turn to something. Something we hope will give us the relief we so desperately need. Some of us just realize it. And those people are right here in The Veritas Recovery community, waiting to welcome you in and encourage you. Maybe your "something" looks more traditional like alcohol or another substance. But maybe it looks like work, approval, or control.
We may have different struggles, but the root issues are eerily similar. And that's what this place is about: helping you get to the root.
This isn't a program. It isn't a prescription. It's a conversation among fellow travelers. And it's time you found your voice.
Join for FreeThe most important thing.
Aim for Jesus,
get sobriety thrown in.
Our ultimate goal isn't sobriety. You can find plenty of other places and programs where that's the primary plan.
Not here.
Here, we are about more than just sobriety. Sobriety is important, and we'll help you find it. But how you find it is important. Here, sobriety is a byproduct of something bigger. Someone bigger.
We're not about behavior management. We're about aiming and shooting for Jesus and getting the most flourishing and fulfilled life with him—now and in eternity. That includes sobriety, yes. But it's not only sobriety. Sobriety can't carry the weight of being your savior. Too many people treat it like it can. And that's why you can be a miserable sober person—or be sober for a while and eventually find yourself right back in the same cycle.
We want to do the deeper work that gets to the root of our issues. That's where Jesus operates. And that's where true and lasting freedom is found.
Jesus just doesn't want us sober, he wants to heal our brokenness, shame, sin, suffering, identity, and disordered loves. And when counseling, medicine, treatment, or wise recovery tools are needed, we welcome them as servants. We just won’t ask them to be saviors.
Experience the Difference
A place to take a step.
A place to keep going.
Some days you need a real conversation. Other days you need a resource. Or you just need to listen to how someone else has been right where you are and has made it to the other side. The Veritas Recovery community brings all of it together. An online community that puts Gospel-centered recovery front and center and at your fingertips.
A place to begin
Just start.
We’re not a hospital. That’s the church. We’re not a doctor. That’s Jesus.
Think of Veritas Recovery as a spiritual first responder: a place to come when you know you need help but don’t know what to do next. Or maybe the resources you have don't quite align wit your faith. Or maybe you’re not quite ready to walk into a room of strangers—or church friends—and say it out loud. Yet.
You've found your place. Your people.
We're not about forcing labels. You don’t need a dramatic rock bottom. You don't have to have a "traditional" addiction. We're for people with all addictions at all levels. The only requirement?
Being willing to shoot for Jesus and get sobriety thrown in.
It's called "Gospel-centered recovery." It's not just pray harder or go to church more. But it's also not less than Jesus. Not sure about what that all means? No problem. We're here to let you know. Sign up below for free, hop on one of our weekly online support meetings, and start getting to know people just like you.
What do you got to lose other than the shame?
We are your people.
You're not alone. A lot of people say it, but we show it. Join live meetings and conversations, connect, talk directly with others, or simply listen until you feel ready. The devil wants you to feel alone. We want to show you how much of a lie that is.
Updates and encouragement throughout the week.
Find daily encouragements, links, live sessions, email reminders, and hope when the shame gets loud or you need to remember what is true.
Resources to go deeper.
Explore videos, downloads, teaching series, and even 1:1 coaching opportunities when you're ready to go deeper.
Because it all lives in our platform, you won’t have to chase links across Facebook groups, Zoom emails, and random files. It will be in one place, on your computer or phone.
Join NowNot an afterthought
If you love someone who is struggling, this is for you too.
Addiction never affects only one person. You may be carrying anger, fear, confusion, exhaustion, or even shame that isn’t yours. Your need for support is not secondary.
Our community include spaces created specifically for spouses and loved ones—a place to learn, ask questions, find others who understand, and heal.
You weren't made to shoulder this alone, either.
A note from Jon
The Christian who became an alcoholic. Not the other way around.
I’m the bestselling Christian author who became an alcoholic, not the other way around. Usually it's the other way around, isn't it? Or at least those are the stories we like to tell. We celebrate those on a Sunday.
But there are so many of us who have a different story. A messier one.
We love Jesus, follow Jesus, and pursue Jesus. We mean every promise we make And yet we still find ourselves doing the thing we swore we wouldn’t do again.
I also know how hard it is to find a place where you can tell the truth without being reduced to a label, handed a shallow answer, or treated like your struggle makes you a different kind of Christian.
This is the community I wish I had when I was hiding. I’ll be present through teaching, live conversations, regular encouragement, and the questions we work through together. But this cannot be built around me. The point is to help you find people who understand, take the next right step, and keep moving toward Jesus.

A few things you may be wondering
Got questions?
What if I don’t call myself an addict?
What if I only want to listen?
Is it really free?

One small next step
You don’t have to tell everyone.
But you do need to tell someone.
If you’re tired of hiding, if you don’t have resources near you, if church feels too intimidating right now, or if you love someone and have no idea what to do, come join us. You don’t need the right words. You just need enough courage to take one small step.
Come as you are. Stay as you become.
