According to Reynolds, many of the men come from a Christian faith, so they recommit or experience a spiritual renewal. Reynolds said being exposed to the Gospel frequently leads them to a faith in Jesus for the first time or encourages them to recommit to a life of discipleship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The His Way program is highly structured, very academic, and comprehensive in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt requires a lot of reading and writing. It is intentional because in order to assist the addicted brain to rewire itself, it must create new neuro pathways,\u201d Reynolds said. \u201cReading and writing help do that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut with the commitment to take everyone from where they are to where they need to be, we do not lessen the standards or expectations for someone with academic limitations like illiteracy, dyslexia, ADHD. or any other educational limitation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because His Way has a commitment to help every man succeed, the program includes training and assistance. Plus, if a client is struggling, he can rely on his fellow brothers at His Way who tutor and support their efforts for success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe have a commitment to \u2018Leave No Man Behind,\u2019 and that is our pledge to every man, even the blind or the ambulatory limited,\u201d Reynolds said. \u201cWe believe Jesus would meet whatever need walked through our door. We help with career paths, financial management, medical and dental needs, family reconciliation, parenting, marriage training, and more.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The intention of His Way is to meet the needs of the whole man, beginning with the spiritual and then working into all aspects of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After 60 days into the program, the men are expected to get jobs to help pay for their recovery expenses and to help them build careers that will support their transition out of His Way. The men learn how to create resumes and to set up interviews, but just as in the real world, they must seek and find their own jobs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe employ some who struggle with jobs because of disabilities or criminal background histories. We have five thrift stores called \u2018The Saving Way\u2019 that provide nearly 50% of our expense and employ over 100 people, including current and former residents as well as their family members.\u201d Reynolds said. \u201cWe also have a car dealership that has gradually employed residents. Now it has 12 graduates with family-supporting careers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n His Way is both unique and innovative. Though His Way is not ready to start a residential program for women, it has developed a weekly nonresidential program called ReDiscovery that meets once a week and incorporates materials from the men\u2019s program. Reynolds said he hoped a women\u2019s program will be added in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n His Way also offers a different type of therapy program, one people could say has \u201cgone to the dogs,\u201d literally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDogs were never my intention at His Way,\u201d Reynolds confessed. \u201cBut God had another plan in mind.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n When His Way was just getting started, one of the men brought his dog, Max, with him. But then the man got arrested, and Max couldn\u2019t travel with him to jail. Max could not be left to fend for himself, so His Way inherited him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEveryone loved Max, and Max loved everyone,\u201d Reynolds said. \u201cWhen Max was aging, one of our graduate families had a litter of puppies and gave us one for Max to train. That\u2019s how we got Bella. When Max passed, we honored him with a service and burial on our campus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n His Way then adopted Buddy to serve as Bella\u2019s partner. Since then, they have always had two dogs \u201con staff.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe dogs are considered the men\u2019s favorite therapists,\u201d Reynolds said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unfortunately, despite the hard work and creative methods, the statistical success of addiction recovery is not encouraging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI think 3-10% nationally,\u201d he said. \u201cIn order to keep us from getting discouraged, I thought it was important to set a realistic goal, so we set the expectation we were going to sow the seeds of recovery \u2014 the Gospel \u2014 in every man\u2019s life. How it grows is an issue between them and God. We sow, but God gives the increase.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to Reynolds, putting the program in God\u2019s hands prevents them from taking too much credit for success or blame for failure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis view has been key to limiting burnout,\u201d he said. \u201cThis view is why we are building a successful ministry.\u201d GN<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tom Reynolds is a man with a mission to serve others. \u201cI\u2019ve always wanted to be in the trenches with the hurting and most desperate,\u201d he said. \u201cIt is here I have seen the Gospel take hold of lives and transform them.\u201d As a founder of His Way Recovery Center, Reynolds works with men who […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":193,"featured_media":26747,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","content-type":"","footnotes":"","_members_access_role":[],"_members_access_error":""},"categories":[6,71],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26745","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-feature","category-huntsville"],"yoast_head":"\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/huntsville-al\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/10\/3-1024x683.jpg\")
