What’s holding you back?
Here are some common things that prevent restoration and how we will help you overcome them.
Easy access to things that are hurting you. Relying on willpower doesn’t work for very long. Learn how to create smart barriers to the things you want to remove from your life.
Feeling like you can’t control your behavior. We can all relate! Even the apostle Paul said, “I do not understand myself. I want to do what is right but I do not do it. Instead, I do the very thing I hate.” At Rockside, you’ll have the time you need to build new and healthy habits. You’ll feel better about yourself and learn how to thrive in work and life.
Culture isn’t helping. Our surroundings and media (music, movies, internet, etc.) shape our lives in ways that can be healthy or harmful. At Rockside, you’ll be immersed in a culture that is committed to your health and success. The people in your life will be encouraging you in a direction that will lead to a deeper relationship with God and the life you were created to live.
Questioning your desire to change. The single most important factor in your success is your own personal desire. Every other person in your life can want a better life for you, but if you don’t want it, then things won’t change. Do you want to be an overcomer? If the answer is yes—truly, yes—then you can do it, and we can help.
Sound familiar? You’re not alone.
