Hello Friend

You are in a safe recovery space.

Here, you will find support for life’s journey together, into a lifetime of freedom.

Grit to Grace was born out of the desire to help others, and myself, find the beauty in the process of defining the purpose of our pain.

Someone who has Grit, is resilient, and perseveres through life’s challenges.

I believe that “someone” includes you. Through the process of Grit, you will also enjoy the pleasure of finding God’s Grace. Just like I did.

Are you willing to take the first step, from Grit, to Grace?
