Unashamed Recovery

What would your life look like, if you knew without a doubt that God would rebuild the ruins of your life?

Would your life be any different?

Josh, and Drew are joined by John Gallagher of the Black Sheep Recovery Warfare Podcast to talk about just that on this episode of Unashamed Recovery.

This episode topic is centered from ACTS 15:16. In the context of that scripture we see prophecy about rebuilding the temple from the ruins.

Let's look at this scripture through the lense of recovery, especially in the aspect of our past.

The ruins may be our past, but the rebuilding happens in the present, surrounded by those who uplift us.

And as we talk about rebuilding, it's essential to address the potential setbacks and challenges. Have you faced obstacles in your recovery journey, and how did faith contribute to overcoming them?

There have been moments where it felt like the ruins were too extensive. But that's where faith steps in – it's the anchor that holds us steady. Believing in the promise of rebuilding, even in the face of setbacks, fuels the resilience needed for recovery.

"What if today I believed that God will rebuild from the ruins?"

Joel 2:25-27

On this special episode of Unashamed Recovery, we are joined by Pastor Kelly Kopp of Limitless 405 Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma. This is a special episode that was jointly recorded with Unashamed Recovery, Black Sheep Recovery Warfare and Audio Alchemy Productions.

It's that dreaded time of year again, it's another Season Finale of Unashamed Recovery. As we say goodbye to Season 4, we are going out with a bang! The guys sit down with the director of Voice of Hope Men's Recovery Program, Jon Layton.

Jon's story starts off like a lot of our stories, with a lack of accountability. From a lie from the enemy planted early in life, Jon finished high school already wrapped in the chains of addiction. Those chains only got tighter as the years went, as nearly 2 decades passed by. Living as a functioning addict, Jon lived in denial for years in the blur of his disease.

It wasn't until 25 years later that rock bottom would finally find Jon in the darkness of the pit that he had dug himself in. Jon finally heard the voice of hope that called him out of that darkness and has been living the sober life ever since.

Josh, Drew, and Palmer are joined by the founder of End It For Good founder, TED talk speaker, and author, Christina Dent.

Christina takes us through her amazing story that led to the founding of End It For Good, a Mississippi non-profit leading the way in changing the way we talk about drugs and addiction; working behind the scenes on advocacy and education around drug policy not only in Mississippi but on a national level.

Christina's story isn't your typical story and her journey just may surprise you. Christina's sheltered childhood did not prepare her for what stepping into the role of foster mom later in life would bring her.

Christina has a brand new book, Curious: A Foster Mom's Discovery of an Unexpected Solution to Drugs and Addiction, is now available everywhere books are sold.[link below]

Gratitude and November go hand in hand like Thanksgiving and Turkey.

For the Recovering Addict and the Christian living life attached to the vine, gratitude must be more than just 30 days a year.

Josh, Palmer, and Drew dive deep into the theme of gratitude in recovery in this episode of Unashamed Recovery. The trio explores the biblical perspective on gratitude and its significance in the recovery journey.

Gratitude Verse:

• The episode begins with the hosts discussing the chosen verse for the day: 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18. "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." The hosts reflect on the importance of incorporating gratitude into daily life.

Gratitude Beyond November:

• With Thanksgiving around the corner, the hosts emphasize that gratitude should extend beyond a seasonal practice. They highlight its relevance for everyone, not just those in recovery.

Defining Gratitude:

• Palmer defines gratitude as joy, distinguishing it from happiness. Gratitude, rooted in God, goes beyond situational feelings, reminding individuals of the depth of joy that comes from within.

Gratitude in Challenging Seasons:

• Palmer and Drew reflect on the timing of the Thanksgiving season and Christmas, emphasizing the importance of being thankful even in challenging and expensive times. Gratitude serves as a powerful perspective shifter during difficult seasons.

The Role of Gratitude in Personal Recovery:

• Josh shares how gratitude helps him remember where he came from in his recovery journey. He expresses the fear of forgetting the transformative moments and emphasizes the role of gratitude in keeping those memories alive.

Why Gratitude in Recovery:

• SHIFT IN PERSPECTIVE

• Positive Emotions Through Gratitude

• Humility Through Gratitude:

This episode serves as a comprehensive exploration of gratitude's role in recovery, offering practical insights and personal anecdotes to inspire listeners to integrate gratitude into their daily lives.

After much delay to technical difficulties beyond our control, we finally present our latest testimony episode with guest Jonathan Clark as he tells of his inspiring story of overcoming the pit.

This testimony is powerful because it can be the story of anyone and it showcases the power of the grace that is second chances. Jonathan's story isn't crazy, filled with drama, nor is it far fetched. It's a story that we see all the time. It's a story of someone looking else where to help cover the hurt. What is remarkable about this story is the resilience of trying one more time. It is there in that aspect that the miracle is born, when we go from the pit to glory.

Originally Ep 050 was suppose to be "from the pit to glory" with Jonathan Clark sharing his story, but since we are still having computer issues and cannot release that episode, check out this spare episode that has been sitting in the Unashamed Recovery vault.

On this episode, the guys sit down with Amber Thomison of Strong Towers Recovery once again but this time to talk on how we can weigh the truth.

In early recovery, it's easy for us to fall victim to all the lies that are coming at us from every direction. How can we avoid these pitfalls and steer clear of the lies that are dressed up as "almost truths" or counterfeits of the real truth?

We have to weigh everything against scripture.

But how do we do that?

Well good question, and that's exactly what Amber is walking us through on this episode. As someone who was a non-believer most of her life, Amber's walk with Christ didn't start until her recovery journey when she found the truth.

Get out your bibles, get out a notebook and a pen and dig in with us on this episode as we explore how we can weigh the counterfeits against the truth.
