Restoration in Progress 🙌

This week, we got a powerful phone call from a former resident that reminded us why we do what we do. Malcolm reached out and asked if he could come home to the Joseph House. After taking a step back and reflecting on where life was taking him, he’s choosing to get things back on track.

We are so grateful for God’s grace, second chances, and hearts that are ready to heal. Malcolm will be joining us at the Joseph House after his time at Red River, and we are believing for nothing less than full transformation.

Welcome back, brother! Let’s keep building the future you were made for. 💪🏽💙

God’s Timing is Perfect

“He has made everything beautiful in its time.” — Ecclesiastes 3:11

Waiting can be hard. We want answers, breakthroughs, and change now. But God’s timing is never rushed, never late—it’s always perfect. Even when we don’t understand, He is working behind the scenes, shaping our hearts and preparing the way.

If you’re in a season of waiting, don’t lose heart. Trust that God is making something beautiful, even in the waiting. His plans for you are good, and His timing is always right.

🎄✨ Tonight, we celebrated our first Christmas at the Joseph House with our four incredible residents, and it was such a joy-filled evening! The guys enjoyed a delicious gumbo dinner (because what’s Christmas in Louisiana without gumbo?!), followed by a fun White Elephant gift exchange that had everyone laughing and having a blast. 🎁

It’s moments like these that remind us of the beauty of fellowship and the importance of community during this season. We’re so proud of these men and grateful for the growth and joy we see in their lives.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support the Joseph House—it’s because of your love and generosity that these special moments are possible. Merry Christmas from all of us at the Joseph House! ❤️🎄

Help Malcolm on his Journey!

Here is just a little about Malcolm’s life story. It’s one of resilience and transformation. At just three months old, he was given to his aunt and uncle to be raised. His aunt and uncle were devoted Christians, and their faith left a lasting impact on him. However, at age 15, Malcolm left their home, and his life took a difficult turn for the worst. He began using drugs, and by the age of 20, he was married with two children, but found himself in and out of prison for years.

After years of living a life far from the one he’d envisioned, Malcolm grew weary of the path he was on. In a powerful turn of events, he found God and began the journey of turning his life around. Each day brings its struggles, but with God’s guidance, Malcolm is committed to taking one step at a time, walking toward a brighter future.

With your support, we can provide Malcolm a stable, faith-based environment at Joseph House to continue his journey of recovery. Your sponsorship can make a significant difference, giving him the resources and encouragement needed to embrace this new chapter.

Please contact Sober Living Director, Sierra St. Julien, to sponsor Malcolm and help him stay on this transformative path.

Thank you for your support.

A huge thank you to Understanding The WORD Ministries for their generosity and for creating these unique Bibles, each engraved and designed to inspire and strengthen the faith of our men. These Bibles are more than just books; they are a symbol of hope, guidance, and encouragement as each of these men journeys toward a new life.

Your support means the world to us, and we are incredibly grateful! Thank you for empowering our men with His word and equipping them with the spiritual tools they need.

Hey everyone!
Our sober-living houses are in need of some towels, If you have any extra towels (bath, hand, or washcloths) that you can donate, it would mean so much to us!

Every little bit helps, and your generosity can make a big difference in creating a comfortable and welcoming environment.

If you’re able to contribute, please message us for drop-off details. Thank you for your support! 💚🙌

Finding Freedom in Recovery Through God’s Approval

“Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.” — Galatians 1:10

In recovery, it’s easy to feel pressure to prove ourselves—to family, friends, or even to society. We might feel that if we can just earn others’ approval, we’ll finally be “enough.” But Galatians 1:10 reminds us that our journey isn’t about meeting people’s expectations; it’s about walking in the purpose God has for us.

True freedom in recovery comes from seeking God’s approval above all else. When we focus on His love and acceptance, we find strength that isn’t based on others’ opinions but on His grace and forgiveness. Let this truth guide you: God sees your heart, your struggles, and your victories, and He is pleased with your steps toward healing.

Today, release the weight of trying to be “enough” for others and let God’s love be your foundation. Seek His guidance, and trust that He is walking alongside you, shaping your path to recovery with purpose and peace.
