The Calling Stayed, But the Plan Changed

from Rebuilding Life After Addiction Hosted by Shenandoah Valley Adult Teen Challenge

Ashley and I sat down during a rainy work day at the center to talk honestly about where things stand with the ministry, the building, and this next season. Support the 6043 Broad project: https://svtc.info/6043-broad For the first time in ministry, I don't have a clean five-year plan. We thought we were coming back to restart the residential program. That didn't happen the way we expected. Then we listed the building for sale. It didn't sell. Then a gift came in that changed the direction again. So now we're painting rooms, planning monthly worship nights, working toward groups, finishing the studio, and trying to take the next step in front of us. The calling is still clear. The model is not. This conversation is about faith, uncertainty, obedience, ministry, sustainability, and what it looks like to keep saying yes when you don't fully know what the outcome will be. Thanks for following along as we rebuild this in real time. 🎙️ Host: Justin Franich | Executive Director, Shenandoah Valley Teen Challenge 🌐 Full episodes + resources: https://svtc.info/podcast 📖 Faith-based recovery guides: https://svtc.info 🙏 Support this ministry: https://svtc.info/donate 📞 Need help?
