Brushes of Hope
More than a painting company: the kingdom building business.
We're a community of second chances, faith, and transformation.
Painting with Purpose. Living with Faith.
Our founder, Eric Garrison, is living proof.
Before he was running a successful painting company, Eric was battling addiction, brokenness, and hopelessness. But through faith, grace of God, and community, he found healing — and a new purpose.
Now, he uses that same passion to give back.
Because when you’ve been to the bottom and found the one who can lift you up, you can’t help but reach down and lift others.
Our Heart: The Inn Regeneration
The work of LionHeart extends beyond the brushstroke. At the very core of our mission, fueled by faith and love, lies THE INN REGENERATION, an in-house program dedicated to the regeneration of men seeking freedom from addiction and a pathway to a new life.
This vital program, operating under the umbrella of the not-for-profit LIONHEART OUTREACH AND FELLOWSHIP, is made possible through the financial foundation of our painting business. We believe that every individual deserves a second chance, a place of refuge and rebuilding.
The painting business is not simply a means to an end; it is an integral part of the therapeutic journey at THE INN. It provides a structured worksite where the men in our program can:
Develop valuable skillsLearning the trade of painting equips them with practical abilities for future employment.
Experience therapeutic workThe work environment offers a space to process difficulties and build resilience in the context of responsibility and teamwork.
Prepare for reintegrationNavigating the dynamics of a job setting within a supportive community helps them build confidence and coping mechanisms for their return to society.
It is our deep conviction that through the love of Christ and the dignity of meaningful work, these men can find healing, purpose, and a brighter future.
Painting a Brighter Future
