PROVERBS 27:17
“Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.”
Thank you for taking the time to visit our website. We are dedicated to helping the broken and hurting to rid themselves of shame and guilt and to discover a renewed identity in Christ.
A new book and workbook promises hope and healing for those battling addiction, trauma, anxiety, and more.
Many of us struggle with issues that seem impossible to overcome – addictions that destroy relationships, traumatic events that shatter our sense of self, crippling anxiety that isolates us from the world. These struggles can make us feel hopeless, like true freedom is always just out of reach.
That’s why Mike Chestnut’s new book, More Than A Picture, and its accompanying workbook offer a lifeline for those who feel trapped. Drawing from his own journey of restoration from addiction and secrecy, Chestnut shares openly about finding freedom through building an authentic relationship with God.
More Than A Picture recounts pivotal moments that shaped Chestnut’s path to restoration. From a plane ride to Albania where he met orphans longing for role models, to a childhood cross-country race where an autistic boy finished last but was celebrated like a champion, Chestnut’s stories illustrate that we are defined not by our circumstances, but by how we choose to move forward.
The workbook’s thought-provoking exercises allow readers to engage actively with Chestnut’s message of hope. Readers can explore past hurts, identify goals for growth, and commit to practices like journaling that foster self-awareness on the journey to restoration.
For anyone feeling chained by their past, More Than A Picture provides a roadmap to walk into God’s freedom. Through humble sharing and practical tools, Chestnut remind sus that with God’s help, we are capable of being so much more than the picture our struggles have painted. The possibilities are limitless when we are willing to take that first step.
Will you join in this journey of restoration? More Than A Picture and its workbook are available now to lead you to a life truly free.

You are more than your past horrible decisions and worst moments.
You can be transformed intentionally into the man you always have wanted to be.
We get to choose who we are to become. Our character is what we decide it to be. Don’t let others create your identity. Learn how you can let God radically change who you say you are.
In the above video Michael shares openly about past struggles like isolation, poor choices, and feeling disconnected from God despite being an ordained minister. He recounts being molested as a child by a missionary, which caused longtime trauma and feelings of worthlessness. After hitting rock bottom, people like Ron and Pastor Tim helped him find restoration over 15 years. He now wants to help other men finding restoration too. He emphasizes the importance of intentionality, accountability, friendship, and hearing God’s voice as tools for building godly character and identifying strongholds. His story covers struggle, isolation, restoration, and offering hope, help, truth, and accountability to help others avoid long battles. He shares hard-earned wisdom on identity in Christ, spiritual warfare, freedom from past wounds, and living an intentional life following God.
