RESTORED Addiction Recovery Workbook

Restored is designed to transition adults from addiction support groups to a local church small group. The addiction recovery program Restored is an eight-week addiction recovery process of individual self-evaluation through Scripture, collective discussion, and tailored sin-cycle diagrams.[1] Since current models of addiction recovery only help people abstain from their addiction through ongoing recovery support groups, Restored helps give individuals tools to break free of habitual addictive sin. Restored is unique from the other addiction recovery ministries mentioned as it will facilitate participants by outlining cycles and patterns of sin. The knowledge of participants’ specific sin cycles will give them a tool to prevent fulfilling their destructive patterns. Restored is not in competition with biblically-based addiction programs, but it is complementary in nature to help bridge the needed gap in addiction recovery.

[1] Restored was developed by the researcher of this DMIN action research project at Liberty University.

reNEW Discipleship

Many churches are great at programs, events, and leadership development, but we need to get back to Jesus’ command for the church to make disciples. ReNEW is a 10-week systematic teaching with fill-in the blank guides and leader guides. Every lesson is structured with the “Big Picture” giving an overview, a “Key Take Aways” section where participants fill out the guide, and it ends with “Discussion” section to talk about the lesson and give next steps.
