thumbs up — Kyle Shaw, Founder & Executive Director

Whole Truth Ministries was founded in 2013 on the dream of one young man who beat the addiction odds finding recovery and peace through his love of Jesus Christ. Believing his path to recovery could work for others, he has devoted his life to assisting anyone who seeks his help to become free from the grips of addiction. With financial aid from the Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services Board of Montgomery County, what was once just one transitional home to house five men in recovery has now grown to four houses serving twenty-four. Programs have evolved to include opportunities for personal development, occupational training, and family reunification, but most importantly developing a positive role as sons, husbands, and fathers. Kyle is still as passionate about this agency as he was when it was just a dream and continues a hands-on approach to help each of the guys coming through our houses to be the best possible version of themselves.

A Daughter's Love

For six years he has fought the devil and has won the battle every time, six years ago I got my dad back, six years ago he finally decided he was done giving into the devil and he surrendered to God, six years ago he not only changed his own life for the better but he changed mine and so many of our family and friends lives. He continues to fight the devil by helping those around him that are struggling with addiction get better, he is spreading his victory to many others so that the victory can continue to be spread and this battle across the nation can end at once. I am so proud to be your daughter and watch you fight this battle, thank you for surrendering to God six years ago, I will forever be greatful for this day, I love you! Daddy, congratulations on six years clean!

What's God done for Me?

I lived a life full of pain, brokenness, betrayal, lies, manipulation, broken relationships, broken homes and broken hearts. I lived without for so long that I didn’t even know what I was missing. My false sense of pride and my ego told me that I was the man and that I had everything I ever wanted and needed. Society and the people around me validated my corrupt behavior. The bad boy lifestyle was all that I’d ever wanted. And what did God do for me?

I lived through an abusive childhood without my biological father the first ten years of my life. I was made fun of and didn’t fit in with a lot of the other kids. I remember stealing, lying and fighting trying to cover up who I really was, just to seem like I fit in. I remember always searching for approval and judging who I was off of others views. And what did God do for me?

I turned to drugs for social activity, started smoking weed to feel a part of the “cool crowd”. I began to feel that drugs was who I was. I knew they made me feel better, but I lived a life of pain and misery over drugs. The getting and finding means to get more. The sickness and withdraw when I didn’t have them and the consequences that stemmed from all of this! And what did God do for me?

And what about when I was 18 and found out that I had cancer, two days after I found out that I was going to become a dad? When the cancer and drugs took me through Hell. When I gave up my will and felt like life didn’t even matter. And all I wanted to do was die. What did God do for me then?

What about when I was in prison because of my drugs? The deaths of my friends, family members and loved ones. All the feelings of loneliness, inadequacy, worthlessness, hurt, anger, fear, sadness and heartache. What did God do for me?

Well let me tell you what God did for me!

He created me and gave me the childhood I complained about today. I only told you one side of the story. But Here`s the flip side. I was blessed with the amazing Grandparents who taught me and guided me until my mom and dad were ready to be parents. God gave me the talents to ride bikes, play football and baseball! God blessed me with the ability to hunt, fish, ride dirt bikes and four wheelers. God used the abuse in my childhood to make me a tough man!

God kept me safe through the years of drug use. Many kids aren`t as fortunate to live through all the things that I did! My God gave me the strength to carry on through the cancer and gave me the beautiful little girl he knew I needed to provide me with just enough joy, happiness and hope that I needed to live on! Just because my will was lost doesn’t mean his was.

God gave me rest when I went to jail and prison. He delivered me from the lifestyle I thought was best for me. All the feelings God allowed me to feel were for me to feel what I feel today, an overwhelming joy and peace for my king Jesus! God allowed me to suffer to see my need for a savior.

What my God did for me was allow me to suffer while he carried me through it until ultimately he delivered me! What did my God do for me? Well that’s simple

He gave me this testimony to share with you!!!! Praise God and to Him be all the Glory!
