When I heard Father Mike Schmitz's homily on Divine Mercy Sunday, his words about our deepest wound being distrust resonated with me. His homily was a catalyst for my reflection on the quarter spent at Encounter School of Ministries, a time rich with learning about the transformative power of forgiveness and the journey to inner healing. 

Imagine a fortress, not of stone, but of our own making, built from the lies and vows we've whispered to ourselves. This is the stronghold I discovered, one that often leads to self-protective behaviors and, for some of us, to the numbing embrace of distraction and avoidance.

 Drawing from scripture, prayer, and the sacraments, we'll discuss how to replace the deep-seated lies of our wounds with the liberating truths of God's word.  I invite you to share this conversation, as it may be the lifeline someone out there is searching for. And if you're seeking further support, There are several ways to work with me —visit my website and follow along on Instagram as we walk hand-in-hand on this path toward alcohol freedom.

Shatter the chains of unforgiveness and discover liberation on the other side of resentment. In this episode, I'll reveal the truth behind six myths surrounding forgiveness that often serve as barriers on the road to alcohol freedom.

We'll unpack why forgiving is not a sign of weakness, nor does it pave the way for future harm. This episode promises to peel away the layers of misunderstanding that equate forgiveness with approval of wrongdoings, reaffirming that true forgiveness is an act of strength that empowers personal healing without necessitating reconciliation or erasing memories.

Embark on a sacred journey as we harness the transformative energy of forgiveness through prayer, setting the stage for deep, personal healing.

Have you ever boldly asked Jesus to remove your desire to drink? Drawing from the wisdom of Pope Benedict XVI, who once said, "The world offers you comfort, but you were not made for comfort; you were made for greatness," we explore the journey towards sobriety through the lens of faith and greatness.

This episode challenges you to confront your fears and dependencies, encouraging a life lived in full alignment with God's purpose. We discuss how the pursuit of comfort can often lead us away from our divine calling and how embracing discomfort can be the key to unlocking our true potential.
