In my life, you are a big part of my recovery and why I am here

"I liked [Jonathan] letting me speak my mind without judgment. I was able to share things I was not able to share to most people."

[Steadfast HOPE] showed me that you don't need to resort to violence as your first reaction.

I really enjoyed the lesson the other day I think Jonathan is an awesome coach I can feel his struggle and commitment which is big to me cause if u don't know wat struggle feels like how can even begin to guide someone like me or so I feel and his lessons hit home with me. Also it's easy to open up to him.

Steadfast HOPE has been a great help to me. I have been encouraged by having someone come alongside me, as I walked through new uncertainties and seasons of life. I am also better equipped, with a strong model to follow, as a husband and a leader.

Jonathan's nonprofit, Steadfast HOPE, has been a huge blessing to not only me but my family as well. It has equipped me to be a better man that I strive to be each and every day. I'm grateful to know Jonathan as a brother in Christ who I can learn and grow from spiritually. His willingness to serve truly makes Steadfast HOPE impactful beyond comparison.

I love [Steadfast HOPE's mentorship]. It helps me let go of things...It helps me throughout the day...to brighten up and smile.
