GBOne of the Best Life Decisions You'll Ever Make Going through the 10-week journey at Reclaimed was probably the best decision I've ever made, after getting baptized, and I don't say that lightly. I was on the fence about doing it at first; it is an investment of time and money, and I prayerfully and thoughtfully considered it. I had been attempting to overcome porn on my own for quite some time with varying degrees of success. Although it wasn't a daily or even weekly issue, it still was a stronghold in my life. After having another setback, I decided I needed to do this. Reclaimed is set up beautifully to give its clients quick, short-term wins, while building momentum for long-term victory. The community aspect is unique and makes the program more worthwhile. In addition to 1-on-1 coaching with Kolton, I took every opportunity to join calls with others who were further along in the journey. This provided accountability, understanding, support, and grace when I needed it most. For example, during one of the meetings with Kolton, we explored some of the most hidden parts of my story. I honestly thought there were things I had done I would never tell another soul and would feel condemnation about for the rest of my life. Through Kolton and this community, God made his grace, forgiveness, and love manifest more tangibly than I have often experienced. And as a result, I have been living a porn-free life ever since. I know some of the other reviews mention this, but if you're on the fence, just do it! You won't regret it. It's not a quick fix or end all be all; there are still moments we're all tempted, but I now have the community, confidence, and capability needed to stand firm.

GBReclaimed has changed my life! Reclaimed has changed my life! Highly recommend to anyone who is sick and tired of living in a cycle of sin, shame, repentance, and feeling like you are not living out God's plan for your life. This was the place I found myself for 10+ years. I had head knowledge that God loved me, but I could never accept it in my heart because I kept sinning with pornography. And I carried this guilt and insecurity into my marriage, around my kids, and at work. After seeing two therapists, joining accountability groups, installing software on my devices, I still could not break free from my porn habit. Nothing seemed to work, and I finally reached a point where I had to decide if I was willing to keep fighting or give up. At that time a friend of mine was telling me about Reclaimed and how he thought it might finally be the opportunity for me to draw a line in the sand. I did have my doubts at first, especially around the financial investment. I had already spent thousands of dollars trying to beat this but to no avail. However, after researching other programs, I realized that it was worth the money because of the personalized coaching you receive in addition to the opportunity to join a community of men who are journeying together. The 10-week program was exactly what my heart needed. I was able to slow down and be curious about how the porn habit developed. I realized that my struggle was not all my fault, and that my heart was turning to porn for a reason... in fact porn was a solution in many ways (albeit with many harmful effects). Although porn may not be my fault, I realized I had to take responsibility for it. I was only able to do this by first learning to love myself, really believing that Jesus loves me just as I am, not as I should be. I realized that instead of counting the days I hadn't looked at porn, I should be counting the days I've connected with Jesus...because He is truly better than porn. After completing the course my spiritual life is completely revitalized. I am connecting with Jesus daily and learning to live in my identify as a son of God. My marriage (while not perfect) has really changed for the better. Before Reclaimed, when we struggled with a lack of intimacy, I would carry resentment and take things into my own hands. Now I realize that she is on her own journey, and that through prayer, God CAN work miracles. And lately God has been faithful in that department! Looking into the future I'm excited to see what God's plans are for me. Porn had been such a distraction. Now I can focus my prayer life on seeking God's will for my life. I currently work in the corporate world, but I'm learning that I really enjoy connecting with others on a heart level. I'm praying about potentially going back to school to get a Master's in Counseling, with the goal of helping others get through life's hang ups due to sexual sin. My advice for anyone considering this program: just do it! God is doing something amazing through Reclaimed!

GBThree things made this superior to any… Three things made this superior to any other service of its kind. Reclaimed is based on Biblical, scientific, and compassionate standards. As a Christian, I had been dissatisfied with approaches to porn recovery that did not address my faith. At the other end of the spectrum, I wanted more than just prayer sessions and verse memorization (although these are very important). I also was looking for someone who sincerely cared for me and my success. Reclaimed checked all the boxes. As an extension of these qualities, Reclaimed integrates a community sharing the same goals and standards. We meet once a week (even after our program has been completed). In addition to the large group meetings, we have small groups that meet at other times of the week. These meetings occur on Zoom, allowing access regardless of our geographical differences. (Although some members are able to physically meet). This is the first time I have felt free from this terrible sin! I have hope of a future without porn.

GBWho is Reclaimed Recovery For? As someone who has participated in ineffective recovery courses in the past, I came across Reclaimed with a dose of skepticism and doubt about what would actually change in my life "this time around". Maybe, reading this review, this is where you are too. Despite these doubts, I decided to give Reclaimed a shot because of the testimonies of a few close friends of mine and enrolled in the 10-Week Journey. Basically, what Reclaimed offered me from Week 1 was a new, redeemed mindset. The nature of sexual sin often had me looking over my shoulder, regretting my actions of yesterday, but, by focusing on breaking down lies that I told myself about my self-worth and building on the actual truth of the Gospel, Reclaimed helped me to look forward with a new perspective. For the first time in a long time, I can say that I'm genuinely excited about moving my life forward and getting after some of my goals. The 10-Week Journey will not "fix you", so to speak, but it is an effective process for healing and growth. Growth requires commitment and effort, and in some ways this course may challenge you beyond what you expect, but push through and dive deep, and the reward will be worth the cost. Personally, in 10 weeks, I've gone from constantly feeling like I'm standing on a razor's edge when fighting temptation, to being equipped and able to resist that urge much more effectively. If you're looking for a place to start, or a place to keep growing, this is a course you should consider!

GBAn Incredible Program for Christian Recovery As a therapist, there are very few programs that are safe and appropriate for our own personal struggles. After years of silently fighting (and losing), this program was recommended to me. I cannot commend Kolton and the other men of Reclaimed highly enough, their mix of grace and scientific truth was decisive in helping me recover. I've truly never felt more secure in myself, with God, and with others.
