The Power of Spiritual Community - Episode 268 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Recovery isn't just about putting the drink down—it’s about learning how to self-sacrifice, build lifelong fellowship, and shift from being a taker to a giver. In Episode 268 of Relevant Recovery, we share the power of completely unplugging, seeing AA in action through our recovery family, and dropping our guard to experience true, shoulder-to-shoulder connection. 🎧 Wherever you listen to podcasts🕕 New episodes Sundays @ 6:00 PM CST🌐 www.relevant-recovery.org🔗 linktr.ee/relevantrecovery #ForGood
This Simple Program is Too Hard - Episode 267 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A simple program or “design for living that really works”. . . Why, when there are millions of examples around the world of people whose lives have been revolutionized, do people still refuse the “design”?

Why is the message quite often about not drinking, when the “program” is clearly about so much more than that? 🎧 Wherever you listen to podcasts🕕 New ep
The Counterfeit Compassion — Episode 265 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The High Cost of People-Pleasing. We love to talk about being "considerate, helpful, and kind" in recovery. But what happens when our desire to keep everyone happy isn't actually love at all—it's just codependency, people-pleasing or fear wrapped in a spiritual bow? Today we look at how people-pleasing is actually a subtle form of manipulation, and why true emotional sobriety requires us to trade the approval of people for the service of God. 🎧 Wherever you listen to podcasts🕕 New episodes Sunda
