welcome to house of resurrection
House of Resurrection is a picturesque Residential Healing Center just east of Tulsa, Oklahoma at Ft. Gibson Lake. We serve pastors in sexual crisis, men battling addiction, and marriages hanging by a thread.
why we do what we do
At House of Resurrection, we believe no one is too far gone for healing — not the fallen pastor, not the addicted husband, not the fractured marriage.
That’s why we offer pro bono intensives for pastors in crisis, affordable recovery experiences for men battling pornography and lust, and transformational healing for marriages devastated by infidelity.
We do this because we’ve lived it.
For over a decade, Blaine and Lori Bartel have walked with men and marriages through the darkest valleys — not from a distance, but from the trenches.
Blaine is a sexual addiction specialist who has helped hundreds of men find lasting freedom from pornography and sexual brokenness. Lori, a seasoned dental professional, partners with Blaine in leading marriage intensives for couples rebuilding after betrayal.
But this mission began with a personal collapse.
After a 20-year addiction to porn and sexual vice nearly destroyed his life and ministry, Blaine was left wrecked and hopeless. On a quiet drive from Kansas City to Tulsa, he heard a whisper that would change everything:
“I’m not going to give you a recovery. I am calling you into resurrection.”
That moment ignited a total transformation — not just of behavior, but of identity. Blaine didn’t just get better. He became a new man.
From the ashes of that journey, Blaine and Lori created the Katharos Model, a biblically grounded, Christ-centered path to purity and restoration — including their signature approach: The Jesus Pathway to Purity.
Today, House of Resurrection exists to multiply that same resurrection story in others.
We’re here for pastors with nowhere to turn.
We’re here for men tired of hiding.
We’re here for marriages barely holding on.

YOUR GIVING PROVIDES PRO-BONO HELP FOR PASTORS AND THIER FAMILIES.
When a pastor falls, most people walk away.
At House of Resurrection, we walk toward them.
Every year, thousands of pastors and ministry leaders quietly crumble under the weight of hidden sexual struggles, betrayal, and burnout. When their secret is exposed, it doesn't just wreck their lives — it devastates their families, churches, and communities.
Most have no safe place to land. No one to call. No margin for help.
We’re changing that.
The Lord has graced us to walk hundreds of pastors into healing for their lives and marriages, as well as restoration of God’s calling.
Help us offer this sacred work to every pastor who needs it — without cost, without shame, and without delay.
One-time or monthly — every dollar becomes part of a resurrection story.
Freedom belongs to you
The Men’s Freedom Intensive is the pathway to freedom for any man who has struggled with porn and sexual compulsion. This two-day residential program will provide the wisdom, tools, and healing for lasting freedom.
