As we travel on the holy road of recovery, we often focus on the visible chains—addiction, shame, or broken relationships. But there’s a quieter, more insidious enemy that can creep into our hearts. It’s called bitterness. It’s a slow poison, one that seeps in unnoticed, and for the believer, it carries a unique and spiritua
Feel Stuck in Recovery? This One Verse Could Change Everything
“Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.” (James 4:17, NKJV) Self-Reflection Ever feel that quiet nudge? The nudge of the Holy Spirit that tells you, you know what’s right, but you just can’t seem to act on it? Maybe it’s fear, guilt, or exhaustion […]
How and Why the Bible Is Alive and Speaks to Us
The Living Word As you recover, you may often feel broken, lost, or stuck in cycles you feel you can’t escape. Addiction whispers lies: You’re too far gone. You’ll never change. But there’s a Voice stronger than the chaos. It’s a voice that cuts through the noise and breathes life into your weary soul. That […]
Insidious Sin: Sin We Never Thought Was Sin
I want to preface this article by saying that the Holy Spirit hit me hard over the head in the past few days about insidious sin. We normally watch Christian TV or YouTubes that teach about Scripture and prophecy; however, my husband and I began watching re-runs of The Celebrity Apprentice. After a short time, […]
Why We Should Never Envy the Wicked: A Biblical Perspective for Recovery
In a world where wickedness often seems to prosper, it’s easy to fall into the trap of envying those who live without any regard for God’s ways… especially when their lives appear comfortable or successful. Yet, Scripture repeatedly warns us against this mindset, offering a perspective rooted in trust and eternal hope. Proverbs 2
The Grace of Salvation is Proven by Our Works
I have discussed this many times before. That is, the keys to complete healing are the same keys to knowing your truly saved. These 3 keys are summed up in three words… SUBMISSION, SACRIFICE, and SURRENDER. Salvation is one of the most beautiful gifts we can ever receive; however, it’s also one of the most […]
Why Are You Here?
Have you ever found yourself staring into the abyss of that question, Why am I here? You felt the weight of this question press down harder than ever? Maybe it crept in during the darkest nights of addiction, when every choice seemed to spiral into chaos, or maybe it lingers now, in the fragile hope […]
Faith or Fantasy? Why Belief Alone in Jesus Isn’t Enough to Save You
Surrender: The Key to Truly Following Jesus Christ Many people claim to follow Jesus, but, as we know, not everyone truly does. True faith… true recovery… true freedom… all begin with one thing: surrender. Not partial surrender. Not occasional surrender. Total, lifelong surrender to Jesus Christ as Lord. This means following Hi
Can God’s Angels Participate in your Recovery?
God’s angels are frequently depicted as messengers and servants of the Lord in the Bible, and while Scripture does not explicitly state that angels are tasked with helping humans specifically in recovery (such as from illness, addiction, or hardship), there are many instances where they provide aid, protection, and guidance to God’s peo
Meth and How Detox is Accomplished
For those caught in the grip of methamphetamine addiction, taking the first step toward freedom can feel overwhelming. Detox—the process of clearing the drug from the body… is most often necessary before any real healing can begin. Did you know that there are two distinct paths to medically supervised detox? One is secular, focusing so
How Anxiety and Depression Cause Addiction
Hidden Triggers: Faith in Jesus Christ Breaks the Cycle Addiction doesn’t appear out of nowhere. For so many of us, it’s not just a bad habit or a weak will… it’s a desperate response to something deeper. Anxiety and depression, those quiet tormentors of the mind and soul, don’t just walk alongside addiction; they oft
Are You Identifying with Addiction Recovery or With Jesus Christ?
Most recovery programs tell you the LIE that you’re always “in recovery,” that addiction is a lifelong struggle, and that relapse is part of the process. We now know that this is a bold face lie! Disease is only a theory that cannot be and has not been proven. Know this: God’s Word tells an […]
In Your Recovery, You May be UNKNOWINGLY Running Away from Jesus and Running Toward Hell
Recovery isn’t just about what you’re leaving behind, recovery is all about where you’re moving toward. Many people who escape addiction don’t realize they’re still running, just in a different direction. They’ve abandoned substances, but instead of running toward Jesus, they’re running away, filling the vo
From Spirits to Spirit: Understanding Medically Supervised Alcohol Detox
Alcohol can feel like a relentless captor, promising escape but delivering chains of bondage instead. For those of you ready to break free, medically supervised alcohol detox offers a lifeline in a safe, compassionate way to release the body’s dependence and step into the beginning of a Biblical recovery once you complete it. This isn’t
