Founders, Steve and Rujon Morrison

Rujon Wilson Morrison

Rujon combines faith and “real world” common sense to help people encounter heart revelation of God’s truth and love in their lives. She has a unique gift of creatively presenting theological concepts in a way that moves God’s truth from head to heart.

From 1980 – 1987, Rujon worked as the Educational Director for the adolescent program at Brawner Psychiatric Institute where she helped pioneer inpatient program models for substance abuse/addiction and psychiatric patients, and also headed the educational department. From 1985 she moved into the position of Clinical Program Director and worked to help pioneer partial hospital programs for NME hospitals nation-wide, using her work at Brawner as the pilot program.

In 1988 Rujon moved from secular mental health to a Christian model serving as clinical program director for Rapha at the inpatient unit in Atlanta, Georgia. She then pioneered and directed the first Christian partial hospital program (day clinical program) in Georgia, which received U.S. Joint Commission of Hospital Accreditation. Rujon also served as National Special Programs Coordinator for Rapha Hospitals throughout the United States. During this time, she also served as Educational Specialist and Advocate for the Cobb County Juvenile Court System, one of the largest in the U.S.

As a writer, she has contributed to a number of Rapha Recovery books and workbooks in areas of addiction and codependency. She has also contributed to Search for Significance, Search for Freedom, Search for Peace, and co-authored with Robert McGee, From Head to Heart. As a pioneer of 12-Step Christian recovery groups, Rujon co-authored and led the training program for The Right Step Program—a program which reached into six countries. Rujon and Dr. McGee also teamed to present Search for Significance as a DVD series. Her latest DVD teaching is designed to compliment the workbook, Conquering Codependency. She has also been a contributing author to Christian Counseling Today, the quarterly publication of the American Association of Christian Counselors.

As a speaker, Rujon influences a wide range of audiences— church leadership seminars, Christian universities, retreats and conferences—and has spoken in over a dozen countries. She was recently invited to Cambridge University, Ridley Hall, as guest lecturer in the area of spiritual formation and pastoral care. Beyond the Christian venue, she has also conducted couples’ forums for the World President’s Organization.

Rujon holds a Masters degree in Evangelism Studies: Leadership, Renewal and Mission with Distinction from the University of Sheffield, England. She has completed 32 hours towards a Masters degree in Leadership and Diversity at Fuller Theological Seminary. She holds Bachelor of Science degrees from the University of Southern Mississippi with honors in the areas of Education, Interrelated Special Education, Psychology, and Science in the area of pre medical studies.
