Restore Small Groups

Restore Small Groups Helping people transform their lives through safe, quality, and affordable peer-to-peer small groups. Everyone is struggling with something. You are not alone!

In small group, we extend love, empathy, and respect to each other in our shared humanity. Our groups consist of 5 to10 participants and 2 trained facilitators, all who commit to an 8-week journey together. In group we get to the heart of our struggles, building intentional, healing relationships on the way. With thousands of participants worldwide, we have seen transformation in the areas of anxiety, depression, relationship issues, low self-worth, grief and loss, rage, loneliness, or anything else holding you back from a full life. Restore Small Groups was founded by Scott Reall at the YMCA of Middle Tennessee and now operates as it's own non-profit. Scott and Executive Director Sara Hamill work to intentionally provide Journey to Freedom, our flagship book, and other small groups as a means to offer a path to lasting transformation for anyone dealing with life's struggles.

If your organization is longing for deeper connection, healthier leaders, and a relational way to walk with people in their real stories, we’d love to explore what partnership could look like together.

We live in a divided world-different beliefs, opinions, and ways of seeing.

Restore Groups offer a compassionate space where difference is welcomed and each story is honored.
We begin from our shared humanity, trusting God is already present and at work. We don’t move past our differences; we learn how to be human together within them. A space where people feel seen, known, and safe enough to belong.

Real change happens when people don’t have to carry their story by themselves.

When we walk side-by-side, listen deeply, and stay present with one another, the work of healing gains strength, momentum, and hope.

From East to West, Restore teams are carrying hope across borders, and into real lives.

Our Africa Journey teams are planting seeds of healing and courage in communities that are ready for something more.

Our Belize Journey team is meeting young people exactly where they are, listening, walking alongside them, and creating space for honest stories and real change.

And at Kolbe Prison in Belize, men just celebrated their Journey to Freedom + Series Books graduation, a powerful reminder that healing doesn’t belong to a few, but is possible for every human story.

This is what Restore is about: safe spaces, deep listening, and communities of hope, right where people are.

You were never meant to heal alone.
When we allow ourselves to be seen, honestly and without shame, God meets us there, and real transformation begins in the safety of community.

You don’t have to carry your story alone.
When we show up with one another-honest, unfinished, and brave-something beautiful happens. Community becomes sacred space.
Healing becomes possible. And God meets us right in the middle of our real lives.
