Series on 12 Step Wisdom (Part 1 of 3)
At some point, our lives are unmanageable and we need help. When we want to turn away from sin and our struggles, we turn to God to save and heal us. We are given clarity to open our eyes and see our life in a new or different way. And while we’re accepting reality as it is, we recognize what we can and cannot control, we realize what is asked of us everyday. When we live that reality one moment at a time, that’s the time we can accept life in a particular way and enjoy it!
This episode talks about the Serenity Prayer and what it means to be in recovery and seek healing and conversion.

Perseverance Not Pretty
Do you think God calls us to be perfect or just to be pretty? I think not. What we’re called to is not pretty or perfection but perseverance. Sometimes, having a very happy-looking social media feed is much easier than having a happy heart and home in reality. But we’re not going for things to look good; instead, we’ll be good and persevere in this goodness…

House of Prayer, Not Den of Thieves
Sometimes we need someone to fight for us, to respond forcefully to injustice in our lives. Jesus does this, as he did in the temple – He’s not afraid to clean house. The Divine Physician heals us, though the medicine isn’t always tender and gentle. The medicine that’s needed is tougher, and the only way to remove…
