Anger can be one of the most misunderstood emotions of all that we carry as believers in Christ. But anger is just a rise against an injustice. So how do we walk and struggle well when anger comes online? What are some practical things that we can learn and lean into to help us move forward with health when the signal of anger comes up? Listen in as Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery, speaks with Sarah as she shares her own experience and how this played out in her recovery story.

One of the greatest blessings about the ministry of Celebrate Recovery is that whether we come from one country or another, we all speak the same language, and that language is "hurt." Pain is a language that we all can understand and feel at the very core of our heart. How we deal with that pain is critical to our growth process. On this week’s episode listen in as Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery, interviews a dear brother, Jose. He shares a part of his life-change story in coming into Celebrate Recovery.

In this episode we will continue with Part 2 of the conversation on establishing the value of our presence versus our intellect in sitting with someone and listening to their inventory during the fifth step process. How do we stay present and attuned to the person who is courageously opening their heart and life so that we can be a part of the healing process that Jesus and the individual has invited us into? Listen in as Rodney Holmstrom continues the conversation.

One of the greatest gifts we have in recovery is being able to sit with someone who enters into the scary parts of their story.  This may even be the first time they are sharing and they have decided to share with us. This process can be one of the biggest healing components of the recovery process through the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit. But, as we listen, how do we stay out of our head and not overthink this? How do we understand the difference between skill versus presence in the listening end of the fifth step? Listen in as Rodney Holmstrom unpacks this topic in Part 1 of the conversation.

It can seem a little bit awkward when we think about the idea of connecting with "self." It might seem like the last person I want to connect with in my struggles is the very person that’s in the middle of the struggle. But learning how to stop and stay within myself and not exit my "self" in the midst of trials and struggles is critical to staying in a healthy space in recovery. In this episode, Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery, visits with Andy Petry, Landing Director of Celebrate Recovery, to discuss this important topic to help keep us on the healthy road to recovery.

What happens when we refuse to face the hurts and trauma from our past? Sometimes, wherever we sit in our brokenness can keep us stuck there and even hidden underneath the table in a place of darkness.

There are some aspects of our life that if we really think about it sound and seem repulsive.

What do you think of when you hear the word relapse? It's easy to box it into a very defined picture but what if the act of relapse is not the only thing we need to be focusing on? What if there are some questions that we can be asking ourselves to help prevent the physical act of relapse or lapsing into old tendencies, mentally or emotionally? On this podcast join Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery as he interviews a special guest and friend, Buck on this important topic.
