This month, we celebrate the greatest love story ever told. One of great sacrifice — the ultimate sacrifice. It’s a radical story of redemption in which we stake our faith: that Jesus gave His life for our sins and died, but rose again!
As we celebrate Easter and the victory of Jesus’s resurrection, those of us at the Dream Center are celebrating the men and women going through recovery. These are folks who are finding new life while overcoming addiction and the struggles that come with it.
Easter is a time of renewal, a time of rebirth. It is a powerful reminder of hope that, like Jesus, victory over death is possible, and thus, victory over addiction is possible. With recovery comes transformation and a new outlook on life. And for my friend Johnny, his journey is nothing short of that. Johnny’s Story
Johnny’s life before coming to the Dream Center consisted of addiction and chaos. From sexual and physical abuse to toxic relationships and drug abuse — which ultimately led him to prison — Johnny came into our recovery program hopeless and completely broken. Yet his great victory over the strongholds of addiction will inspire you.
“I had a traumatic childhood,” Johnny told us. “At six, I witnessed my mother being molested. I tried to stop the attacker but was not strong enough. Shortly after, I was taken from my parents and sent to live with my grandparents where I was sexually, physically, and verbally abused.”
If that wasn’t enough, Johnny also told us that his own relationship took a turn for the worst and one day his girlfriend took their kids and left.
“I ended up using more drugs than ever before,” he went on to say. “I’d also been committing a string of serious crimes and was eventually caught and sent […]
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
