Jesus didn’t sugarcoat the way of salvation. In Matthew 7:14, He says, “Narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.” That one verse demolishes every notion that following Christ is about comfort or popularity. The straight and narrow road is not just a […]

Recovery in a Divided House: When Your Spouse Doesn’t Believe
Recovery is challenging enough when you begin to rebuild your life with Jesus after addiction, trauma, or deep brokenness. It gets a lot more difficult when you’re pursuing biblical recovery and your spouse doesn’t share your faith, the battle can feel tripled. It’s like trying to walk a narrow path uphill—with someone pulli
When Recovery Ends and Your New Life Begins
Recovery is not meant to be a revolving door — it’s a sacred doorway into a brand-new life. Many people in recovery live as if they’re still in the wilderness, wandering in circles, afraid to step into the Promised Land of full healing and freedom. But God’s intention for recovery is not that we remain […]
Taking Your Health Back During Recovery
Recovery is not just about breaking free from addiction—it’s about rebuilding a life that reflects the wholeness God intends for us. That includes emotional healing, spiritual restoration, and very practically, physical health. Scripture reminds us in 1 Corinthians 6:19–20, “Do you not know that your body is the temple of th
How True Biblical Recovery Prevents Relapse Forever
In the world of addiction recovery, relapse is often expected. It is also greatly feared. Many secular and non-secular programs build relapse into the journey, calling it “part of the process” or “a learning opportunity.” But what if that mindset is dead wrong… incomplete? What if, by God’s grace, there is a pat
When the Church Feels Unsafe
Healing shouldn’t stop at the church doors. Recovery is one of the most courageous journeys a person can take—but what happens when the very place that’s supposed to support your healing becomes a source of pain? If you’ve ever walked into church and felt more judged than welcomed, more shamed than seen, you’re not alo
Mentoring Others into the Healing Power of Jesus
Disciples don’t just receive healing—they guide others to the Healer. “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me,Because the Lord has anointed MeTo preach good tidings to the poor;He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,To proclaim liberty to the captives,And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;”Isaiah 61:1 Jesus c
Rebuilding Trust After Addiction
It’s a known fact that addiction shatters trust. It leaves behind wounds not just in our own lives, but in the lives of those we love the most… especially our children. When recovery begins, many of us feel ready to make things right, but we quickly learn that forgiveness may come faster than trust. So […]
You Can Trust God’s Process
Hope and Healing in Psalm 37 “Do not fret because of evildoers, nor be envious of the workers of iniquity.” – Psalm 37:1 When you’re trying to rebuild your life—especially after addiction, loss, or years of walking in darkness, it’s easy to look around and wonder: Why do the wicked seem to win? Why is […]
Finding Freedom in Psalm 34
“I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.” – Psalm 34:1 Psalm 34 is the cry of a man who has been delivered from fear, shame, and trouble, and knows exactly who to thank for it. It’s a psalm of David, written after he narrowly escaped death […]
Letting Go of Control
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.”— Proverbs 3:5–6 (ESV) One of the hardest truths in recovery is this: we are not in control. The illusion of control often leads us deeper into […]
