About Us

ReStoried is cultivating a community of people who imagine and incarnate a good, beautiful, and true story in their relationships with God, others, and themselves. The vision of ReStoried is to generously provide (authentic) experiences, (inspiring) resources, and (professional) guidance to help people live a better story.

Joey & Elizabeth Maxon

Joey + Elizabeth

Addiction, betrayal, trauma … they are all part of their story.  Maybe they are part of yours too, or maybe something else has led to ruptures in your relationships.  Thankfully, that’s not where Joey and Elizabeth’s story ended.  After years of their own healing work, they are now living a life of freedom and connectedness they never dreamed possible.  This is what they offer you – a chance to be re-storied, woven into God’s greater story full of goodness, beauty, and truth.

Professional golfer meets PhD student.  In their early days of dating, Joey was traveling the world playing golf and Elizabeth was working on her graduate degree in psychology at Arizona State University.  Both seemed ambitious and accomplished on the outside, but their interior lives were already fractured.  Elizabeth had been through a divorce (as well as the divorce of her parents when she was a child).  Joey seemed to have lived a relatively “normal” life, but was carrying a secret that started in childhood.  Both grew up in the Christian faith and attended church regularly, but pieces of their lives still need healing.

Fifteen years into marriage their story took its biggest turn.  Joey’s 30+ year struggle with a pornography addiction came to light, and the devastation – the complete crumbling of their old marriage – made way for something new – a new story to be told.  It was not an easy road, but it has led to what scripture calls “a more spacious place.”  It has led them here – to a life that wasn’t just restored, but (re)storied. They are committed to helping others do the same!

Our Approach

At the heart of all our services is to help individuals and communities experience and engage the love of Jesus. We accomplish this through a holistic approach that considers the need for both freedom FROM the trappings of this world (addiction, trauma, suffering) and freedom FOR a life of “practicing heaven” (the good, beautiful, and true story of God’s kingdom coming). In particular, we prioritize the following: 

  • Community – opportunities to engage with others in both one-on-one and group settings 
  • Creative Arts – Goodness, beauty and truth are found through creative offerings
  • Creation – “nature seeks, hunts tries to ferret out the track on which God may be found” – Meister Eckhart
  • Contemplative Practices – a core component of each area above to fully experience and engage in the love of Jesus; practice being loved

Our Core Values

A ReStoried life embraces:

  • Trinitarian Love + Guidance – We hold all plans with an open hand, trusting Father, Son, and Spirit to lovingly order our steps and direct our purpose.
  • Holy Integration – Guided by the Holy Spirit, our interior lives increasingly match our exterior lives.
  • Wounded Healers – As individuals and as an organization, we pursue the ongoing healing and spiritual health of ourselves and serve from that overflow.
  • Radical Hospitality – A practice of putting extraordinary effort and emphasis on making people feel welcome 
  • Authentic Community – Offering environments in which people feel seen, soothed, safe, and secure enough to honestly share their stories.
  • Beauty As Necessity – The expression and appreciation of beauty through nature, art, music, and story is central to our being.  
  • Abundance, Not Scarcity – Acknowledging the infinite resources of our Heavenly Father, we assume our needs will be met and our purpose fulfilled.  This allows us to act from a place of love, not fear; and to be generous, not closefisted.
  • Creation Over Consumption – Technology is valued as a tool, not an escape.  More time and energy is directed towards creating than consuming.
