Helping men who struggle with addiction and supporting the Christian leaders who serve them.
We are a ministry that helps bridge and connect people dealing with addictions within the Christian faith community by helping them find support, education, understanding and freedom through recovery and 12-step groups, programs, rehabilitation and trauma therapy. Addictions we work with include alcohol, narcotics, sexual and gambling.
Over the past 25 years, Brian Ellsworth has started various businesses and start-ups; as well as serving in various management, consulting and executive positions.
From development and planning to marketing, sales and customer service, Brian has been able to apply proven expertise to every facet of the live event business, various starts up, small businesses and non-profits. Brian has conceived and executed strategic plans for various businesses, non-profits and events as both a hands-on operator and as a sought-after consultant.
Brian has been one of the fortunate ones; not because of business and outside appearing successes, but because of being given the gift of desperation. Brian’s childhood traumas and addictions have led him for 20+ years to the point of divorce, bankruptcy, suicidal ideations and, worst of all, true hopelessness.
Through God’s leading and Him doing for Brian what he could not do for himself, he was afforded too many blessings and too much grace than can be penned here.
Through the principles of the 12 steps, multiple rehabs, trauma therapy, counseling and many God Winks, today Brian lives a more blessed life than he could imagine. He has been fortunate to evade divorce and bankruptcy and live a life that is full of Hope and Freedom.
Today Brian gets to share his experience, strength and hope with men who have found their way to desperation and hopelessness and also be a part of helping them find Freedom and Hope.
Today, in addition to being the Executive Director of Living without Lust, Brian owns and operates a consulting business, Willow Brook Solutions Group, and a construction company, Willow Brook Construction Services.
Brian lives with his wife Loye and their two children, Colby and Eden, in Memphis, TN.
