About Robert
Robert was born and raised in New York where he battled drug addiction from a young age. Though he became a successful business man, his struggles left him near-dead on multiple occasions, and eventually with the grim sentence to a prison cell. Left with just a few options, Robert chose to yield his life completely to Jesus Christ. In a place where freedom was seemingly lost, Robert’s freedom had finally begun. God asked Robert to confront his past, including his hurts, wounds and wrongdoings openly and honestly. He confessed, repented and renounced the sins he had committed, and in turn forgave those who had harmed him. His relationship with Jesus and this process did what no other treatment program could – it broke the chains and led him to experience God in fullness.
Not only did he experience the amazing benefit of God’s help, but he was given a miraculous opportunity for an early release from prison and brought back into society where he developed a ministry to help others. He received a vision with heavenly purpose and a deep love for those God continues to place in his life. Over the next fifteen years later, Robert founded and now directs New Life Spirit Recovery. He has assisted and counseled thousands of men and women by utilizing the process of redemption. His testimony, passion and love to help see the addict overcome is evident in all he does. Robert is currently the acting president of The Association of Christian Alcohol & Drug Counselors Institute where he trains future counselors utilizing Biblical principles and solutions.
Robert is a gifted teacher and speaker and has co-authored two books called Christian Families in Recovery and Breaking Point. These books are used in treatment centers throughout the country to help their participants and loved ones better understand the root of addiction, the culprit behind it and the available solution.
About Stephanie
Though Stephanie never dealt directly with Robert’s addiction, she was familiar with the vicious and destructive force of addiction. Her battle wasn’t in dealing with the nature of her own addiction, but in being drawn to people who were in the addictive cycle. Eventually, Stephanie learned that her need to rescue and try to fix those around her stemmed from deeper rooted issues. By experiencing God’s authentic grace and love, she was removed from the insecurity and fear of “survival” living and brought into the secure foundation of God’s promises. One step at a time, Stephanie was able to release the lies of her unworthiness and receive the truth of who she is in Christ.
Stephanie is a passionate speaker and has authored two additional books called The Christian Codependence Recovery Workbook and A House that Grace Built. She runs a ministry based on these materials that helps those that want a deeper healing. To learn more, visit www.christiancodependence.org
Among their blessings, the best are their two beautiful daughters, Arianna and Isabella. Robert also has two wonderful grown sons, Robert Jr. and Jason and their families who reside on Long Island, NY. and in Florida.
