As someone who has experienced Jesus Christ’s transformative power, it’s amazing to see the difference it makes in our life! But what do we do once we’ve experienced it? Is the journey over? Or, does God have a bigger plan in the process for our life in what He does with that freedom? 
In this episode, Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery, will unpack this important topic regarding the things we need to be aware of as someone who has been set free, and the actions and tendencies that result in the life of someone who has experienced such an incredible gift.

How do we break generational dysfunction in our own family system? Are there things, mindsets, patterns, or habits that have been passed down to us that we have been repeating that we may be passing down to the next generation? Through Celebrate Recovery we have tools to face our family dysfunction and take responsibility for ultimately developing a new legacy and path toward freedom. Facing these things starts with us so that we can walk in true transformation and redemption through Christ. In this episode, Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery, will walk us through a great conversation around healing from family dysfunction toward healing.

Kareena first heard about Step 10 in Principle 7 and was full of fear. In this episode, Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery, will invite us into a life-change story interview with Kareena as she walks us through the process of moving her heart to a posture of vigilance and growing into an understanding of the necessity of working this step and principle for ongoing growth and health in her life and recovery.

We’ve done the hard work of Principles one through five, and now we come to the conclusion of identifying some of the character defects that may be keeping us from moving forward - fully and sustainably - toward healthy recovery. Working Step six & Principle five of Celebrate Recovery is a critical point in our journey. What does it look like to become entirely ready to remove those character defects? In this episode, Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery, will continue the conversation in answering the “why“ to working the Steps and Principles of Celebrate Recovery. 

As we walk this road to recovery, it is important to understand that the season we are in now will not last forever. God is doing something in us regardless of whether we see it or not. Learning how to organize and honor the season we are in - while holding onto hope for the bigger NEW season that God has in store for us - is so critical. In this podcast, Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery, unpacks some of the differences between old and new seasons of recovery, and ultimately turns the corner on embracing and understanding the greater benefits of a new, purposeful season of recovery.

When we come to this part of the process where we admit to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs, it can be very scary and overwhelming. We’ve been answering the question, "Why would we ever do this?" In this podcast Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery, will unpack this important topic to give us oxygen for carrying out this step along with principle 4 to move us forward to the “what” of the recovery process.

We've been exploring the "why behind the what" of working the steps in recovery. And it's always good to hear about someone's personal journey through this process. In this podcast, Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery, will explore one fellow struggler's experience of working Step 4 and the hope and healing that can be found through it.

Understanding the “why” behind step 4 and principle 4 is essential to facing this difficult and important step. Why would we openly examine and confess to someone we trust our own faults and the faults done to us? Why would we walk through the process of identifying our hurts, hangups, and habits? It’s not an easy step, but it's so worth it. In this podcast Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery, walks us through understanding why this is such an important step as we tackle the lessons in Book 2 of the Celebrate Recovery curriculum.

All the steps of Celebrate Recovery are so crucial to our growth and healing. However, this principle and step are extremely critical to sustainable recovery and not just sobriety. When we can understand why we do the work in Lessons 5 and 6 of Celebrate Recovery where we apply step 3 - consciously choose to commit all our life and will to Christ’s care and control - it gives us oxygen to do what comes afterward. Join Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery, as he has an important conversation around principle 3 and step 3 of Celebrate Recovery.

Having worked Principle 1 and Step 1, the next part of the journey is moving into Principle 2. When we can embrace the fact that we matter to God and He has the power to help us recovery, everything changes! Understanding the value of this principle and step is essential to building momentum and strength for what comes next in the process. Join Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery, as he continues this conversation - guiding us through the wisdom behind walking through these CR lessons and principles toward healing.
