Welcome
to freedom that lasts

What is FTL?

Freedom That Lasts is a Christ-centered, Bible-based, local-church-focused discipleship ministry to those who are enslaved in life-dominating sins or overcome by hurtful events of life.

FTL began in 2008 when God gave Jim and Pat Berg a passion to help those struggling with addictive behaviors in their church. Since then, dozens of FTL chapters, including here at Formed For Christ, have been established, helping hundreds of men and women.

We understand that addicts are sufferers who have chosen to respond to their suffering through the use of addictive behaviors of all sorts. Viewing men and women struggling with addiction through this lens allows for sympathy while holding them accountable to Gospel-driven standards. We have found that this approach equips non-addicts and addicts to be able to come together for encouragement, support, and biblical discipleship.

YOU CAN BREAK FREE FROM ADDICTION

Have you all but given up hope that freedom from the cycle of addiction is possible?

You Are Not Alone!

There is a path of hope, full of change that results in freedom.

We want to point you down this path... God's path.

To be fair, this path is hard to walk but easy to follow. This path is not for the faint of heart, but you will have all the strength you need. This path will require your cooperation, which means you won't walk it alone. We have helped men and women in situations just like yours walk down this path and live victorious lives.

If you are interested in what this path looks like, how to walk it, and who you will meet along the way, then we invite you to investigate just a little bit more. Our desire is that you begin to walk this path and find hope. This is the only path that leads to lasting and eternal freedom from the power of addiction. It's a path to love God and others unlike you have ever experienced.
