What is a Prisonist?

Prisonists:
(Priz un ists): WE who have walked the pathway of miscalculation and despair…and who came out the other side better and more capable people because of our missed-steps.

History:
To understand OUR work, first you must grasp that we here who serve in this ministry have fallen.

WE, the people behind the scenes toppled our lives. Head-over-tea-kettle. We made poor and many times disruptive decisions that brought chaos and much suffering into many peoples’ lives.

Decision:
WE decided to end the poor decision making. We chose—consciously and deliberately—to accept full and honorable responsibility for the mistakes we made.

Acceptance:
The acceptance of OUR poor decisions meant we could no longer dodge the truth. The acceptance of OUR past decisions meant that current and future decisions had to be 100 % right. 100 % right and accurate and completely accountable.

Vision:
OUR vision to help people passing through the darkest days and moments of their lives to come to grips with the full-spectrum of the events that they are now facing. WE walk others through the now-well-defined processes of:

• History: deconstructing what events and decisions brought us to this place of present crisis.
• Decision: hammer out the hard and difficult decisions of what steps to take to both manage and then move through the current crisis.
• Accept: to build reality…not some fake and half-baked fantasy of what ‘might happen’…but a real and honest and full grasp of what issues we are now staring down.
• Professional Support: the determination to find and harness and secure the right Team of professionals that have their very best interest in mind.
• Strength for the Journey: to bring us to the place where we develop the core, inner-strength and deep-personal-resolve to stay the course.

Community of Fellow Travelers:
WE are a collective of men and women who now bear the earned-title of: “Prisonists.” TOGETHER, we stand by each other. TOGETHER, have found freedom from the bondage of self.
