This episode explores how our view of God deeply shapes our recovery. We talk about the tension between powerlessness and responsibility and how recovery invites us to take ownership of our choices without losing sight of God’s sovereignty. It’s an honest look at learning to stay humble, open, and responsive to where God is leading.

What if the things you’ve always labeled as “just who I am” didn’t have to define you? In this episode, Ella opens up about learning to trust God with the parts of herself she once believed were too ingrained to change—perfectionism, anxiety, and patterns she thought she’d have to manage forever. Through recovery, she’s discovering that real transformation doesn’t come from trying harder—it comes from surrender.

What if addiction didn’t have to be a lifelong struggle? In this episode, we talk about what we wish we’d known earlier—how community and vulnerability can change everything. From facing shame to breaking the lie that freedom isn’t possible, this conversation highlights how safe, honest spaces lead to real healing. If you’ve ever felt alone in your struggle, this episode is a reminder that lasting sobriety, hope, and freedom are possible.

This episode dives into the lessons learned along the road to healing: walking into recovery unsure it would help, learning to slow down, and realizing freedom comes from daily surrender, not instant change. We talk about why recovery is a marathon; how investing time leads to real health and lasting joy—not quick fixes—and what it means to rely on God’s power one day at a time.

In this episode, we explore what it looks like to step into healing with honesty and humility. We reflect on the journey through Celebrate Recovery, the freedom found in choosing progress over perfection, and the courage it takes to ask the deeper “why” behind our struggles. Along the way, we’re reminded that our identity is not defined by sin but rooted in Christ.

Recovery was never meant to be a solo journey. In this episode, we talk honestly about why letting others in can feel so terrifying—and why it’s essential for healing. Real healing begins when we allow ourselves to be known—by God and by others—and the first step toward that healing is simple, but not easy: honesty. We explore the fear of being fully known and rejected, the shame that drives us into isolation, and how accountability, sponsorship, and safe community become turning points in recovery. Through personal stories and Scripture, this conversation reminds us that hiding never leads to healing, two are better than one, and it’s okay to need others. You don’t have to do this alone—you were never meant to.

This episode invites us to look honestly at the places where change feels hardest and asks a simple but challenging question: what if the starting point isn’t trying harder, but surrendering? This episode explores Principle 1 and Jesus’ words about spiritual poverty, reminding us that real transformation begins when we admit we need help. Through the lens of recovery, we talk about surrender as releasing self-reliance, embracing honesty, and allowing God to heal us.

As we stand on the edge of a new year, this episode invites us into intentional reflection. We pause to ask God what He’s been doing in our lives over the past year—and where He may be leading us next. Through honest questions, Scripture, and space for both grief and gratitude, we explore how to invite God into our reflection, notice what’s bringing life to our hearts, and identify patterns or struggles that may be holding us back. As we enter a new season, this conversation encourages us to surrender what hinders us and trust God as we step forward with endurance and hope.

In this episode, we take a closer look at what Christmas was really like—and why it matters for our recovery today. Many of us grew up with nativity plays, carols, and a picture-perfect version of the story. But the birth of Jesus actually happened in a world full of darkness, chaos, and oppression. God’s people were living under Roman rule, feeling forgotten, and wondering if He still spoke at all.

We’ll talk about how Jesus entered that kind of reality—into uncertainty, poverty, and struggle—and why that brings real hope to us in our own seasons of pain. Christmas isn’t just a festive moment; it’s a reminder that God meets us right in the mess and brings light where it’s needed most.

In this episode, we talk honestly about discouragement—what it is, how to recognize it, and how to take the next step when moving forward feels hard. This time between Thanksgiving and Christmas can stir up all kinds of emotions, expectations, and pressure, and many of us find ourselves feeling more defeated than we’d like to admit. We unpack the signs of discouragement, like negative self-talk and unrealistic expectations, and look at how to bring those moments into the light. Most importantly, we lean into the hope of Philippians 1:6, reminding us that the good work God started in us isn’t finished—and He isn’t giving up on us.
