Barry and Vicki Johnsons’ only child, Jeffrey, struggled with alcohol addiction, but in 2016 Jeffrey found hope and healing through His Way’s addiction recovery program. Vicki recalled how the program greatly benefited Jeffrey, offering him a chance at a new life and a deeper relationship with God. Tragically, later that same year, Jeffrey passed away…
His Way was born from a passion to help Christians reach those struggling with addiction with the transforming message of the Gospel. We articulated that focus in a formal vision statement a couple of years ago: “Advance Christ-centered recovery as a rallying point that unifies mission-oriented churches and Christians through sharing materials and resources, providing…
Eleven years ago, I made one of the best decisions of my life. That was when I began teaching a weekly life skills class at His Way Recovery Center, a Christ-centered recovery program for men in Huntsville, AL. This decision has allowed me to offer help to several hundred men, and it has also allowed…
“Yo Doc, we gettin’ together tomorrow?” “Sure Pat. I’ll pick you up” This was a common interchange I would have with my friend Patrick O’Malley over the last dozen or so years.

My name is Jim Norville. I have been a volunteer at His Way Recovery Center for the past 13 years, because I believe it is the best, life-changing ministry I know about. When men come to His Way, they have usually become a burden to themselves, their families, and to society. They have tried to…
Several years ago, I discovered that one of my friends (and former His Way graduate) was deathly afraid of clowns. We were going to the grand opening of one of our thrift stores. Unbeknownst to us, The Saving Way management arranged for someone to be there dressed as a clown handing out balloons and adding…
Jon Brown passed away just 8 days before his 39th birthday. It was surprising, tragic, and shocking. It was way too soon for those of us who knew and loved him. It was just when Jon was finally getting momentum toward the “abundant life” (John 10:10) Jesus had long promised him, that for years he…
As David headed to the frontlines of Israel’s military conflict with the Philistines to bring supplies to his brothers, he found an astonishing situation. The army of the God of Israel was cowering in their tents paralyzed by their common fear of the Philistine warrior champion, Goliath. All the soldiers had personally sheltered themselves in…
