Scheduled Events for your Spiritual Journey
Weekly Resident Events
01
Sunday Worship
Residents attend the church of their choice each Sunday to grow spiritually, build relationships, and develop a strong foundation for recovery.
02
12-Step Meetings
Residents are required to attend 12-Step meetings such as NA, AA, or Celebrate Recovery. Each resident also works with a sponsor and spiritual mentor for accountability and personal growth.
12-Step Details ……. more
1. Step One – Powerlessness & Honesty
We admitted we were powerless over our addiction — that our lives had become unmanageable.
2. Step Two – Hope & Belief
We came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
3. Step Three – Surrender
We made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
4. Step Four – Moral Inventory
We made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
5. Step Five – Confession & Truth
We admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
6. Step Six – Readiness to Change
We were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
7. Step Seven – Humility
We humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
8. Step Eight – Amends List
We made a list of all persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all.
9. Step Nine – Making Amends
We made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when doing so would injure them or others.
10. Step Ten – Daily Inventory
We continued to take personal inventory, and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it.
11. Step Eleven – Prayer & Meditation
We sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, praying only for knowledge of His will and the power to carry that out.
12. Step Twelve – Service & Spiritual Growth
Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to others and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

Every Man’s Battle Bible Study
Every Thursday, residents from all WTM homes gather for a powerful night of fellowship, teaching, and encouragement. The group shares a meal, studies Scripture, and learns how to win spiritual and personal battles together.
A Path Toward Homeownership
Many men in our program dream of a home they can call their own — and we want to make that possible.
Traditional financing can be difficult due to credit history, income gaps, or past challenges. Whole Truth Ministries helps bridge that gap by offering:
- Basic financial education and credit-building guidance
- Savings plans and budgeting support
- Coaching on homeownership responsibilities
- Connections to community partners
- Exploration of alternative financing options, such as land contracts, when appropriate
Homeownership brings dignity, stability, and generational impact — and we believe every man deserves that opportunity.
Our Resident Pets 🐕

I would like your attention! Not because I’m about to say something. I just like attention.

Got to go home with one of the guys when he successfully transitioned out of the recovery home, but I sure miss the rest of my guys at the Whole Truth houses!
