Step Five is all about admitting and confessing our sins and failures to God. And with this as the focus, I believe the passage from Psalm 32, verse 5, relates well to this step five when it states, then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity. I said I will confess my transgressions to the Lord, and you forgave the guilt of my sin.
Imagine carrying a heavy backpack filled with stones. Each stone represents a regret, a mistake, or a wrong you've done. Now, imagine the relief of setting that backpack down. That's what Step Five in recovery feels like. In this episode of The Hope Recovery Podcast, Greg Schmalhofer dives into the importance of admitting our wrongs to God, ourselves, and another person. Building on the moral inventory list from Step Four, Step Five is all about action and honesty.
Greg shares how this step isn't just about listing out past mistakes but truly confessing them and taking responsibility. It's a challenging process, but one that brings immense freedom and deepens your spiritual connection. If you're ready to lighten your load and strengthen your faith, this episode offers practical advice and heartfelt encouragement.
