Tune in today with special guest Ryan as we unpack wild “Tales from the Trap” stories — and the miracle of what God can do with a life surrendered. From chaos to calling, this episode is about transformation from one extreme to the other.💚

When daily spiritual deposits stop, emotional withdrawals add up fast. Drawing from the Big Book, this episode explores how neglect — not failure — often leaves us spiritually overdrawn, and how simple daily practices keep recovery sustainable. 💚

Control and complaining quietly rob us of serenity. In this episode, we look at how “playing God” and focusing on what’s wrong keeps us stuck in self-will—and how surrender, gratitude, and daily spiritual practice restore peace. Straight from the Big Book, practical, and real.

Step Four isn’t about shame—it’s about clarity. In this episode, we reframe the Fourth Step as a tool for understanding the fear, pride, and out-of-balance instincts that drive our behavior long before alcohol shows up. This isn’t self-punishment—it’s pattern recognition, truth, and the foundation for real freedom.

Am I really helping—or keeping them stuck? Discover the difference between love that empowers and love that enables. Set boundaries, foster responsibility, and let God do the work.

In this episode we look at the problem of living a self-directed life, how even believers can function agnostically, and why this chapter was written to help both the atheist become open-minded, and the believer become honest about their own self-reliance. If you’ve ever struggled with faith, control, or the spiritual side of recovery, this episode brings clarity, hope, and practical tools.
