OUR MISSION

Faith & Grit exists to walk men and women
out of rock bottom and into real purpose.
We equip you with biblical truth, practical tools, 
and honest community so you can rebuild
your life from the ashes.

Faith

We believe faith changes lives. Studies show that 73 % of substance‑abuse
treatment programs incorporate spiritual elements nadadventist.org and people
with strong religious beliefs are up to eight times less likely to use illegal
drugs nadadventist.org. Faith isn’t a crutch — it’s power.

Tools

Over 22 million Americans live in recovery.
Structured tools like Kits, devotionals and
accountability systems improve your odds of
staying free

Real Talk

68% of formerly incarcerated people are
rearrested within three years. We confront hard truths with love, honesty and
accountability.

“I know what rock bottom looks like
because I lived there.”

Alton's Story

Before I turned 18… I’d already been locked up more than once.
By my late 20s… I was deep in the streets—addicted, hustling, and sitting in a prison cell.

That’s where I broke. That’s where I cried out to God. I didn’t have the answers… But I trusted Jesus to save me.

After getting clean and walking out of that cell— I stepped into a whole new fight. Relapse. Trauma. More bad decisions. It wasn’t pretty… But I didn’t quit.

Now I’ve held the same job for over a decade. I’ve got a home (mortgage and all 😂)… A family that’s still in the fight. We’re not perfect— But I’m still standing. Still rebuilding.

I built Faith & Grit because too many people fall back into darkness with nobody walking beside them. This ain’t about pretending to be perfect. It’s about becoming who God created you to be.

Because here’s the truth: Identity changes everything. When you rebuild who you are— how you live begins to shift.

If God can rebuild a felon like me… Just imagine what He can do with you.
