Guest Storyteller - Chris Pondoff

Aug 9, 2025

Chris Pondoff will join us as our Guest Storyteller—in person for the first time! Chris is a person in long-term recovery, one of the founders of Illinois Recovery Center, and the host of Pondoff’s Anonymous. He first connected with us over Zoom after hearing about the work we’re doing here—and now they’re dreaming of creating a recovery-focused ministry in St. Louis.


Chris knows that starting something new in recovery doesn’t come without judgment—and he’s learning to show up anyway. Let Them Judge You. He’s got a story worth hearing!
