Empowering People: Building Relationships, Serving Others, and Living Out Faith
Pastor Tena and Terrell Jackson
At the heart of our mission lies the desire to foster meaningful relationships and cultivate a vibrant community through our small groups. Our commitment to service stems from a deep love for humanity. We believe in the inherent value of every individual and the importance of utilizing one’s unique gifts and talents to bring people closer to Jesus.
Our overarching mission is to empower men to fulfill their divine calling. We champion the idea that true masculinity is rooted in servanthood, not dominance. Being a spiritual leader isn’t about exerting control; it’s about selflessly serving and setting a godly example for one’s family. We strive to equip men with the tools and resources needed to build character and positively impact their surroundings for Christ. For us, embracing Christianity isn’t an end goal but the beginning of an enriching lifelong journey.
Testimonies of Transformation: Stories of Recovery and Redemption
testimony of recovery
At one time in my life I thought I had it all. I had a beautiful wife, two beautiful sons, a business, a house, but in my mind, I felt like I needed more. After 15 years of marriage, life seemed routine. I started spending time away from home, out for a few drinks. That led to “Meth”, believing that this drug would take me to “heights”, but it did nothing but take me to “lows” that I never thought possible. Once I started using “Meth”, it seemed like I needed it every day just to function. I started to ignore my business, my family, and everything else.
Since I had no motivation at all to work, I began to deal drugs to make enough to survive, and support my habit. I had so much shame and guilt in my heart about sacrificing my wife and kids in the selfish interest of my drug habit that it was impossible for me to face them, and before I knew it 2 years had gone by. Then God put an “Angel” in my path and told me about the House of Discipleship and I met with Pastor Jackson.
He took me in with open arms. My life has not been the same since that day. In the 15 months that I’ve been at the House of Discipleship, I have re-established a relationship with my wife and children, after being a “dead-beat” dad for more than 2 years. I have a job and have been promoted to a position which gives me the potential to make the same six figure income which I had lost in my addiction. House of Discipleship has changed my life and restored my family.
