Thanks be to God for Shannon Lovell Dunlap powerful transformation and willingness to share her experience, strength, and hope with First Recovery tonight. Humility, gratitude, and honesty were on full display as the Holy Spirit spoke through her. Thank you, Shannon, for recovering out loud and showcasing one of God's miracles.

It’s always a little more special when it’s one of our own. Seeing the community show up for our friend Amy Koger was incredible. She didn't disappoint! God has done miraculous things in her life, and we are so grateful to have her in our First Recovery family and the Oak Ridge Recovery community. You are a miracle, our friend.❤️

We were honored to hear from Tim Leeper, founder of Kylan's Light, last night. Tim's powerful story of a father's love and grief transforming into purpose inspired the entire room. We are grateful for his willingness to share with our community and for his tireless advocacy on behalf of the voiceless, choosing to see the incarcerated through a Christ-centered lens rather than dismissing them. Thank you for all you do to give voice to the voiceless. Kylan’s Light First Recovery
