We came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. That is a powerful step in recovery after realizing how broken, powerless, and insane our behaviors were previously.

Jorge and Doug discuss how to “work” the step and have it “work you.” They discuss what “Higher Powers” could mean, and they seek to expand your view of God in the process.
