Step Five: The Healing Power of Confession
Salvation is a free gift from God, but healing comes from confession one to another.
Ever wondered why confession is such a crucial part of recovery? In this episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio', Monty Dale Meyer, also known as the Monty'man, breaks down Step Five of the Twelve Steps. This step involves admitting the exact nature of our wrongs to God, ourselves, and another human being. Monty explains that while salvation might be a divine gift, true healing often comes from sharing our burdens with someone else.
Monty dives into why it's so important to talk about our struggles and how this can bring immense relief. He offers practical advice on preparing for these conversations and choosing the right person to confide in. It's not just about unburdening yourself but also about finding a path to genuine healing and growth. This episode isn't all heavy though. Monty keeps things lively with some Take 12 Trivia, a weekly prize giveaway, and even some recovery-focused music.
The closing song, 'God is God' by Blake Bolerjack, adds a soulful touch to the episode. If you're navigating the challenges of addiction, this episode could offer you valuable insights and practical steps to move forward. Tune in to understand how Step Five can be a transformative part of your recovery journey.
