What if the thing you're still clinging to is the very thing keeping you stuck?

In this raw, honest episode of Rooted & Recovered, Dan and Justin dig deep into Step Six of the 12-Step journey: “We were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.”

This isn’t just about being tired of your mess—it’s about being ready to let God remove it. Step Six is the place where survival strategies meet surrender, and where coping mechanisms are finally laid at the feet of the One who can actually bring transformation.

Key Highlights:

• The difference between being tired of consequences and sick of the cycle
• What you protect from God, you keep—and what you keep, keeps you
• Our defects often started as survival mechanisms, but now they sabotage our growth
• Psalm 139:23–24 becomes your bold, dangerous prayer of surrender
• Isaiah’s encounter with God (Isaiah 6) shows that purification always comes before purpose

Scriptures Covered:
Psalm 139:23–24 • Isaiah 6:5–8 • Jeremiah 29:11 • John 15 • Romans 3:23 • Matthew 5:8 • James 1:4

Final Truth:
God doesn’t use perfect people—He uses surrendered ones. And the truth is, you’ll never change what you’re still trying to control. Step Six is your moment to stop bargaining and finally say: “God, I’m entirely ready. Take what I can’t carry.”
