Fear is the silent saboteur of our peace and growth—an “evil and corroding thread” woven through the fabric our lives. In this episode, we uncover what’s really driving our fears, how self-reliance keeps them alive, and how faith sets us free.

Alcohol isn’t just a drink—it’s a spirit that whispers from the shadows: “maybe this time will be different.” In this episode, we learn how to recognize the whispers early, bring them into the light, and stay free from the ghost of booze.

In this episode of Relevant Recovery, we dive into pages 32–33 of the Big Book — the story of the “man of thirty” who swore off alcohol until retirement. This is a powerful reminder that sobriety is more than staying dry — it’s about finding true freedom through a change of mind and heart.

In this episode we explore what it really means to trust God rather than ourselves. From surrendering control, stepping off the Bridge of Reason onto the shore of Faith, and learning to play the role God assigns us. It’s an honest look at letting go of self-will, questioning less, and trusting more — even when we can’t see the outcome.

This week, we're talking about the lie of self-centered living. We’ve all heard the cultural messages: "Protect your energy," "Cut off anyone who doesn't serve you," and "Put yourself first." While these ideas might resonate when you're in pain, they're rooted in a "me-first" mentality that leads to loneliness and misery.

In this episode, we break it down in simple terms, exploring how it shows up in everyday irritations, resentments, and disconnection—and how to realign with peace and purpose.

In this episode, we explore one of the Big Book’s most powerful metaphors: the spiritual structure that leads us into a new way of life. From the foundation stone of willingness to the cornerstone of belief, the keystone of surrender, and the cement of fellowship, the Big Book shows us how to build an arch that we can walk through to true freedom.

“Were entirely ready” is trickier than it sounds. Step Six asks us to be “entirely ready” to have God remove our defects of character — but what does that really mean? In this episode, we explore the Sixth Step dilemma: why letting go is harder than it sounds, how willingness develops, and what the Big Book and spiritual principles teach us about becoming truly ready for freedom and change.
