Unashamed Recovery

Forgiveness. Amends. Reconciliation. 

Inside recovery circles all over the world, we hear these three words a lot! 

Seriously, A LOT!

This is especially true when we move into working Steps 8, 9 and even parts of Step 10. Even more so, we get so complacent with these words that we even begin to use them almost interchangeably in our recovery vocabulary. 

But no matter how we use them, are they the same? 

Are they different?

Regardless, depending on how they are worked, they will either make or break our recovery journey. 

On this episode, Josh & Drew sit down with Pastor Jim of NorthPark Church of God in Meridian, MS to get a clear understanding of exactly what is biblical Reconciliation & how it plays in to our daily recovery work. 

As we approach the middle of Season 3, we only have 6 more episodes left in this season. This season is definitely rushing by, but we are slowing way down on this episode as we are taking a good, solid look at how we can detach forgiveness from reconciliation, how it looks when properly applied & how our recovery depends on true reconciliation when dealing with fixing brokenness.

Even the most veteran member of any recovery program can be at risk of falling out of recovery. It's a slippery slope that we are all vulnerable to. 

So how can we make sure we stick to the program? 

That's the question Josh & Drew sit down to discuss on this episode of Unashamed, & H.O.W. is the answer. 

Honest, Openness, and Willingness. 

H.O.W. can keep you on a balance view & if maintained properly can be extremely beneficial to any stage of recovery. Just 3 simple ingredients but when added into the mix of other tools in your recovery, it will produce the strength & longevity needed for the long haul of the recovery journey.

Have you ever found yourself in the midst of a storm and immediately thought 

''what commandment have I broken, what have I done wrong?"

or the all too common,

"Am I being punished by God?"

While those are natural thoughts to have, in this episode, Josh and Drew sit down with Katie Sanders of Mess & Mercy Ministries to talk about a rare topic among Christian Recovery circles. 

Pruning. 

Sometimes when we are in the midst of a storm, we could just be going through a pruning from God to help us grow and become more fruitfulness. 

But how does this look in our own recovery? Josh, Drew & Katie dig deep to answer that question, because after all, sometimes those storms aren't storms, they are just the pruning.
