Keeping our side of the street clean does just that.
It reminds us we only have power over ourselves.
2022-05-0334 minThat Christian In RecoveryIf The Drugs Don't Kill You, The Lifestyle WillWhen we get to recovery, our thinking is still insane.

Where did you see God?Healing: Addiction (and how we make it worse)In episode 90, we take a deep dive into a topic we've already tapped into with Marti and Miriam, among others: addiction. Vernon Layne gets transparent about his decades-long addiction to drugs and alcohol, and what seemed like the futile efforts of others (and himself) to break free. His mom watched the entire time, and while there were plenty of tears, she was never afraid, because she knew God would bring her son home. However, as we explore this powerful story, we also press hard into what addiction is (and isn't), and how our assumptions (and pride) can cause even the...
2021-12-2254 minThat Christian In RecoveryWhat Are You Going To Do Differently?God wants the best for you.
He's not going to deliver it to you.
You have to be willing to put in the work to get it.

If nothing changes then nothing changes.
When it comes to the battle between intending and action, action wins all the time.
2021-11-1534 minThat Christian In RecoveryWhy Healing Inner Child Can Ultimately Save Your LifeThe best way to get a good understanding of ourselves is by becoming aware of our inner child.
When we aren't aware of our inner child, we look for others to heal us or complete us.
The 12 steps take us back to our childhood experiences which had an impact on our development and beliefs.
This process starts our inner healing.
Sadly, without knowing ourselves on this level, many never outgrow the self-centeredness of a child.
2021-10-2535 minThat Christian In RecoveryLove Is The Antidote To FearIn relationships, seek to understand rather than strive to be understood.
A mistake people often make in relationships is looking for similarities.
When they don't live up to our expectations, this causes us to blame others for our unhappiness.
Loving ourselves and appreciating our differences is the antidote to our self-centered fears.

However, only by living the 12 steps can we find out what took us to the drugs.
2021-09-0132 minThat Christian In RecoveryDo You Really Want To Stop Using Drugs?Pain and misery are realities.
Most addicts are unwilling to accept reality so they do their best to change what is unacceptable.
They use drugs because they don't want to feel.
Subconsciously they seek help thinking they want to stop using not knowing they just want the pain to stop.
All addicts must ask themselves do they really want to stop using drugs and answer it honestly.
2021-08-1531 minThat Christian In RecoveryWhat Do You Say About Yourself?Don't be satisfied with your religious performances. Instead, build a loving personal relationship with Christ by accepting who you are.

2021-06-2939 minThat Christian In RecoveryHow To Go With The Flow Of LifeLife gets better when we lean with the flow of it.
We have to use our intuition rather than our fixed ideas if it's going to make any sense.
Life doesn't care about what we think or feel.
Therefore, we change our pattern of resisting life by learning and accepting who we are. We can't accept it until we accept ourselves.
2021-06-1129 minThat Christian In RecoveryWatch What You Tell YourselfWhether we realize it or not, we all talk to ourselves.

2021-04-1128 minThat Christian In RecoveryBeing Lead By The SpiritThe flesh is trying to teach us how to gain the world and lose our soul. The Spirit enlightens us we can't lose our souls.

2021-03-231h 00That Christian In RecoveryGod Knows What He Is DoingMost men have no inner resources to help them escape the trap of their egos. When our emotions get in the way our vision gets narrow. A spiritual man like Joseph kept one eye on God even when he was in his feelings.

Our words played an important role in addiction. They helped us stay in our self-made prison. We must proceed to do the next best thing until our words again have value. People who we have hurt learn to trust again by our actions, not our words.

2020-10-1630 minThat Christian In RecoveryMost Of All We Harmed OurselvesWe are so focused on how we have been victimized that we fail to see how we have been harming ourselves. We wounded a lot of people, but most of all, we harmed ourselves.
2020-09-2535 minThat Christian In RecoveryThere Was Something MissingSpiritual food is just as real as physical food. It satisfies us in a way that cannot be satisfied with anything physical. Fame, sex, or money cannot fill our spiritual void. Until we have a personal relationship with Christ, there will always be something missing in our souls.
2020-07-1635 minThat Christian In RecoveryFinding Out Who You Really AreMost of us can't be ourselves because we don't know who we are. We learned to be whoever we needed to be to fit in. The Bible is a spiritual mirror revealing and uncovering our defects and assets. We use it to examine our lives and discover the person God intended us to be.
2020-06-0235 minThat Christian In RecoveryStay HomeAt this time, this pandemic is the worst thing in the world.
However, what we can not see is God orchestrating a whole new calling on our lives. One of God's strategies for directing His children's step is to get us to slow down and reflect on our affairs. Because in hard times, we are inclined to listen to Him more intently. #StayHomeSaveLives
2020-04-0433 minThat Christian In RecoveryHow We Grow UpGod wants us to grow up. We can grow and learn every moment of every day if we are open to the lesson. Learning isn't limited to the classroom.

2020-03-1133 minThat Christian In RecoveryHow To Avoid A RelapseWe all have moments of gloom in our recovery. We get through those unsettling times by faith. The first thing to leave you when you relapse is your spirit, and it's the last thing that comes back when you stop . No matter how bad you feel in your recovery, a relapse is never the answer.
2020-02-2737 minThat Christian In RecoveryI Want What I Want; When I Want ItThere comes a time in life; we realize that the way we see ourselves is not necessarily the way others do. When we are physically hungry, we don't think correctly. Well, it's the same way when our spirit is starving for connection and awareness. Sometimes we do stupid things without considering the consequences.
2020-02-1238 minThat Christian In RecoveryWhen Life Doesn't Make SenseHave you ever experienced some unfair situations in which somebody did you wrong or mistreated you? Maybe you've struggled financially, and you don't see how you can ever get ahead. I have good news for you!
