Admitting our wrongs to ourselves and others and confessing our sins to God is the inner house cleaning we all need in order to begin enjoying the benefits of sobriety.

This step is all about owning up to our mistakes—not just to God, but to ourselves and another person. It's a crucial move that breaks the chains of denial and shines a light on our path to healing.
Pastor Jim dives into the biblical roots of confession, reminding us that hiding our sins holds us back, while confession brings mercy and forgiveness. He emphasizes that admitting our faults to ourselves is different from confessing them to others. The Bible makes it clear: acknowledging our sins opens the door to God's grace and purification. But let's be real—talking about our deepest flaws with someone else isn't easy. Pastor Jim doesn't shy away from this challenge.
He shares wisdom from the Big Book, highlighting how tough yet necessary this step is for overcoming addiction and embracing sobriety. Admitting the exact nature of our wrongs helps us move forward, preparing us for the next steps in our recovery. So, if you're ready to take a brave step towards inner peace and lasting change, tune in to this episode of 'Joyful Recovery in Christ'.
Pastor Jim's insights will guide you through the process of admitting and confessing, helping you find the strength and hope you need on your recovery journey.
