Find Freedom. Rebuild Your Life

At its core, The Veritas Journey is about transformation, real, lasting, soul-level transformation that only comes when truth collides with brokenness and God steps in.

“Veritas” is the Latin word for truth, because truth is what sets people free. This isn’t about managing addiction. It’s about destroying it at the root and stepping into the life God always intended for you to live.

Meet Jim Watson
Coach. Nonprofit Founder. Pastor. Overcomer. Business Entrepreneur.

My name is Jim Watson. I’ve lived on both sides of the story.

I was once broken by an addiction to alcohol, ashamed of who I had become, and convinced that I had ruined my life. But when I surrendered to Christ, everything changed. Through His grace, I not only recovered, I was reborn. That moment didn’t just save me; it launched a lifelong mission.

Over the last 30+ years, I’ve:

  • Founded six inner-city Christian missions in some of the toughest, most gang-infested neighborhoods in America
  • Managed turnarounds for three inner city missions
  • Built and led ministries that provided over 50 million hot meals to the hungry
  • Created faith-based addiction recovery programs that have helped thousands find lasting freedom
  • Pastored four churches, preached in over 500, and taught more than 7,000 Bible studies, spoke at business groups, retreats, and special events
  • Been interviewed by the New York Times, the Boston Globe, the Connecticut Post, CBS News, multiple local TV and cable stations, multiple radio stations, etc
  • Raised millions of dollars in nonprofit funding for Christ-centered work across the country
  • Coached broken men, executives, entrepreneurs, gang members, and the homeless, back to the life God called them to live

I’ve helped addicts become leaders. I’ve helped leaders reclaim their integrity. And I’ve walked with men who thought their story was over until God wrote a new chapter.
