As we work principle 6 and step 8, one of the hardest parts of the recovery process is leaning into the space of grace through forgiveness and making amends. But one of the greatest keys to sustainable recovery and growth is the application and living out of this important part of the recovery journey. In this episode, Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery, interviews a sister in Christ, Renee. She shares an important part of her story and how this principle and step became life-changing and life-giving for her.
This step is perhaps one of the scariest parts of the recovery journey. It can honestly feel like too much to face on our own. So, why should we practice Step 8 and Principle 6 in the recovery journey? Is it really worth it? In this episode, Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery, will give us reasons why we should carry out this important step and principle for sustainability and longevity in our recovery journey toward healing and freedom.
What does it look like to humbly ask God to help remove all of those shortcomings and character defects that may have been revealed through the recovery journey?

Why is this step essential toward the ongoing process of allowing God to purify us from all unrighteousness? In this episode, Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery, will unpack Step 7, and give us the important reasons behind the “why” in working this step. 
As someone who has experienced Jesus Christ’s transformative power, it’s amazing to see the difference it makes in our life! But what do we do once we’ve experienced it? Is the journey over?

How do we break generational dysfunction in our own family system? Are there things, mindsets, patterns, or habits that have been passed down to us that we have been repeating that we may be passing down to the next generation?

We’ve done the hard work of Principles one through five, and now we come to the conclusion of identifying some of the character defects that may be keeping us from moving forward - fully and sustainably - toward healthy recovery.

As we walk this road to recovery, it is important to understand that the season we are in now will not last forever. God is doing something in us regardless of whether we see it or not.

Understanding the “why” behind step 4 and principle 4 is essential to facing this difficult and important step. Why would we openly examine and confess to someone we trust our own faults and the faults done to us? Why would we walk through the process of identifying our hurts, hangups, and habits?

In this podcast, Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery, will walk us through the “why” to working principle one and step one of Celebrate Recovery towards healing and freedom.
