Randy Mortensen is back with another enlightening episode of 'God Took Me to Las Vegas'. This time, he dives into the heart of Step 5 in the recovery journey, focusing on the power of confession and forgiveness. In this episode, Randy discusses the crucial step of admitting our wrongs in exact terms, which helps break the cycle of self-deception. He emphasizes that true cleansing comes from being specific about our past actions rather than glossing over them.
The episode is packed with practical advice on how to choose the right person to confide in, whether it’s a sponsor or an accountability partner. Randy suggests starting with a prayer for courage, humility, and honesty before sharing your strengths and weaknesses.

Randy uses the acrostic 'confess' to guide listeners through the process, making it easier to remember and apply.
