Ever feel like the 'God talk' in recovery circles is a bit too much? You're not alone. In this episode of 'Spirit of Recovery', hosts Rev. Dan Beckett and Rev. Michelle Vargas break down what it really means to find and trust a higher power of your own understanding.

Michelle share their personal journeys and the practical steps they took to connect with a higher power that resonated with them. Whether it's a traditional deity, the power of love, or the beauty of nature, finding something greater than yourself can provide the guidance and strength needed to navigate the ups and downs of recovery.
The hosts also dive into the importance of trusting this inner guidance. It's not easy, especially if you've spent years relying solely on your own willpower.

They offer practical tips like quiet time, contemplative prayer, and mindfulness to help you build this trust. Rev. Dan and Rev.

This episode is a beacon of hope for anyone feeling lost in their recovery journey.
By trusting your inner guidance and connecting with a higher power, you can find the strength and support needed to overcome challenges and achieve a life filled with happiness, joy, and freedom.
