The New Normal
We are Jamie and Morgan Molitor from construction2style. Over ten years ago, Morgan's little brother, Noah, received a 10-year prison sentence for selling drugs. Incarceration became our new normal, and once we adjusted, we felt called to create a resource to help others, and that's how reslience2reform was founded. This site is designed to support, educate, and encourage anyone who wants to live a better life. So if you don't know where to start (or don't know how to help someone start), resilience2reform is the place.

Life Must Be Lived Forward
We all have our stories and get to make our choices. Our writers have shared their journeys through faith, recovery, and forgiveness, but also addiction, depression, anxiety, and abuse. Their raw stories tell where their lives and their choices have taken them and how God's grace transformed their lives. No matter what you face, our contributors' stories offer a human perspective delivered with transparency, compassion, and a reminder that you are not alone and you matter.
