Summary

SummaryMy name is Kyle Olson, and I grew up in Ankeny, Iowa. Despite a loving family and good opportunities, I fell into partying and substance use by age 15—starting with alcohol, pot, and cocaine. After an OWI at 18 and an antidepressant prescription, I headed to the University of Iowa hoping for a fresh start, only to repeat the same destructive cycle with opiates in Ames. By 25, IV use left me stealing, lying, and broken—until my parents connected me to Teen Challenge. Three weeks into the program, during worship, the Holy Spirit empowered me with a joy deeper than any drug. Through counseling, community, and faith, I found restoration, got a job in Omaha, and met my wife Autumn. Now a student affairs specialist at Teen Challenge’s reentry center, husband, and father to little Oliver, I pour into others with the same grace I received. God’s faithfulness has given me purpose, family, and a new life in Christ. 🙌❤️

𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗲, a division of Adult & Teen Challenge of the Midlands, is one of the most successful recovery programs in the world. The biggest difference between us and more traditional recovery programs is our focus on Christ. We whole-heartedly depend on Christ-centered teaching and Biblical principles to be a guiding light that reveals darkness and results in genuine healing from difficult life issues and painful addictions. ⠀ Unlike short-term rehab centers that focus on treating your addiction, we require a year-long commitment that helps you get to the root of your pain and confront destructive choices and self-sabotaging behavior. Through a Bible-based curriculum, you’ll learn how to apply God’s Word to your life. The longer duration gives you a safe place to establish a new “normal”— assured of the love of God and under the guidance of Biblical principles.
