Has anything ever taken your serenity away?

Work? Kids? Financial Stress?Your favorite sport team looses? Addiction?

More than likely some thing at some time has taken your peace. Some things happen that are outside our control. On this episode Josh, Drew, & Palmer talk on how we in recovery can live in a way where we can keep our serenity even in times we have no control and live to accept that in which we have no control.

It's been awhile Recovery Fam!

After a 5 month break, the guys are back in the studio talking all things Faith Recovery.

Josh, Drew & Palmer sit down and talk about Principle 4, Openly Examine and Confess my hurts, hang-ups and habits to myself, to God, and to someone I trust.

For a successful recovery, we must come to a place where we can honestly examine ourself, our hurts, our hang ups and our habits.

We cant start the process of healing if we wont acknowledge we need healing.

The wages of sin is death.

Sin is derived in the flesh and God is delivered to us, delivering us in, and with the Spirit.

What are you choosing to live in?

Can you not hear God's voice?

You might be living in the flesh.

Come check out this conversation with Drew and Palmer about the personal, yet inevitable battles of Spirit vs Flesh.

Recovery Fam have you ever had an Answered Prayer?

Join Palmer as he sits down with our guest Grady who shares his 'Jesus Story'.

Grady walks us through his story that starts off with a childhood living the 'American Dream' that came to a screeching halt at 10 years old when his father commited suicide. From there, Grady went down a downward spiral in his teenage years trying to numb the pain.

Trauma is no stranger in this story but so is miraculous Grace of Answered Prayers.

Episode Verse : John 15:7

On this episode, Josh & Drew sit down with guest Amy Frank to hear another powerful story of redemption.

Amy takes us back to her childhood where her story starts in "complete blindness". Amy grew up in an abusive home in Texas and came to Mississippi with her mother and siblings to get away. Because of the abuse, Amy lived a isolated childhood. Even as a kid, Amy found herself in a care taker role, not experiencing a typical childhood.

As a rebelous 16 year old with a baby, Amy found herself abandoned by her family in a time that she desperately needed them the most. Living 4 hours from her home, she found herself rejected by those she had knew all her life, and feeling completely lost a feeling that would follow her for years to come.

Years later Amy found herself alone yet again after a rough breakup. It was there that she was introduced to crack cocaine for the first time and was instantly hooked on the numbing effect of that high.

Amy spent the next few years running and chasing that high that made her forget being lost. That running eventually caught up with Amy and that's where she had her "But God" moment in a Rankin County Courtroom. A single moment that changed Amy's life from being lost to being found.

Is there something in your life that you are truly powerless against?

It can be anything really. Fresh and hot donuts for example. Even something like shopping.

When something has such a hold over us that it becomes unmanageable, that is when we can see "serenity robbers" in our life.

Join Josh on this solo episode as he talks about what it means to be powerless against the hurts, habits, hang ups, compulsions, addictions and self destructive behaviors in our lives and how we can take steps to overcome those serenity robbers that have us weighted down.

Episode Verse : 2 Corinthians 1:9 "We felt we were doomed to die and saw how powerless we were to help ourselves."

Has the consequences of a choice you made in the past finally caught up with you?

There is a old saying in the rooms of recovery, "You are free to make your own choice, but you are not free of the consequences of that choice."

On this episode of Unashamed Recovery, Josh, Drew, & Palmer talk about a common topic that involves us all....CONSEQUENCES.

We will all make bad choices, some more than others. Regardless, we will all make bad choices in life. Sometimes the payment for those choices comes instantly and other times there is a delay; but rest assured the bill always comes.

Colossians 3:25 confirms this. "..he who does wrong will be repaid for what he has done, and there is no partiality."

For some of us, we made a bad choice and that choice is what catapulted us into recovery. It only seems right that us accepting a new life in recovery would absolve us from any guilt or of any consequences from what we had done in our old life.

That is just not the case. In this episode we will hear of someone going through this exact situation. The guys break down how we should press on and continue in our sobriety and recovery even though the bill has come due.

Buckle up Recovery Fam! Because on this episode of Unashamed Recovery, Josh, Drew, & Palmer are joined by Matti Aughenbaugh from Pensacola, Fl & what a story our guest has. Matti literally takes the guys down the rabbit hole!

Just when you think you have heard it all & that it can't get any more crazier, Matti's story pushes the boundaries.

From a early childhood rooted in a family of alcholism, trauma & suicide, to adult life filled in drama, addiction & pure insanity, Matti's journey may go down the rabbit hole but it is anything but Wonderland.

Child abandonment, child abuse, culture shock, & a constant struggle in identity had backed Matti into a corner withi with the chips stacked against her.

Make sure you stick around to hear how this insane story ends because the rabbit hole always takes you further than you want to go.

Josh, Drew & John Gallagher of Black Sheep Recovery Warfare Recovery Podcast sit down with the Ministry Leader of Foundry Celebrate Recovery in Vicksburg, MS, Danny Ivey.

It's not often that Kindness follows the word Chaos

Danny's life starts off born in the pit, with the world immediately stacked against him, born into an environment of chaos and violence.

Danny's story is the living example that brokeness gets passed down, from generation to generation. Trapped in a cycle of pain, incarnations, crime, gangs, addiction and violence, Danny must finally come to face this cycle and decide whether he will continue in the insanity of the endless cycle or will he make a stand and break the cycle.

From Gang Leader to Ministry Leader. From Chaos to Kindness.

What would your life look like, if you knew without a doubt that God would rebuild the ruins of your life?

Would your life be any different?

Josh, and Drew are joined by John Gallagher of the Black Sheep Recovery Warfare Podcast to talk about just that on this episode of Unashamed Recovery.

This episode topic is centered from ACTS 15:16. In the context of that scripture we see prophecy about rebuilding the temple from the ruins.

Let's look at this scripture through the lense of recovery, especially in the aspect of our past.

The ruins may be our past, but the rebuilding happens in the present, surrounded by those who uplift us.

And as we talk about rebuilding, it's essential to address the potential setbacks and challenges. Have you faced obstacles in your recovery journey, and how did faith contribute to overcoming them?

There have been moments where it felt like the ruins were too extensive. But that's where faith steps in – it's the anchor that holds us steady. Believing in the promise of rebuilding, even in the face of setbacks, fuels the resilience needed for recovery.

"What if today I believed that God will rebuild from the ruins?"

Other Episode Verses :

Joel 2:25-27

It's that dreaded time of year again, it's another Season Finale of Unashamed Recovery. As we say goodbye to Season 4, we are going out with a bang! The guys sit down with the director of Voice of Hope Men's Recovery Program, Jon Layton.

Jon's story starts off like a lot of our stories, with a lack of accountability. From a lie from the enemy planted early in life, Jon finished high school already wrapped in the chains of addiction. Those chains only got tighter as the years went, as nearly 2 decades passed by. Living as a functioning addict, Jon lived in denial for years in the blur of his disease.

It wasn't until 25 years later that rock bottom would finally find Jon in the darkness of the pit that he had dug himself in. Jon finally heard the voice of hope that called him out of that darkness and has been living the sober life ever since.

--------------------------------------------------

**Huge News Recovery Fam, we are moving away from our Seasonal format. You no longer have to wait in between Seasons for new episodes. As we end Season 4 we will continue releasing new episodes every other Monday from here on out. Our next episode is December 25th, Ep055 Blue Christmas : Surviving Holiday Grief**

Josh, Drew, and Palmer are joined by the founder of End It For Good founder, TED talk speaker, and author, Christina Dent.

Christina takes us through her amazing story that led to the founding of End It For Good, a Mississippi non-profit leading the way in changing the way we talk about drugs and addiction; working behind the scenes on advocacy and education around drug policy not only in Mississippi but on a national level.

Christina's story isn't your typical story and her journey just may surprise you. Christina's sheltered childhood did not prepare her for what stepping into the role of foster mom later in life would bring her.

Christina has a brand new book, Curious: A Foster Mom's Discovery of an Unexpected Solution to Drugs and Addiction, is now available everywhere books are sold.[link below]

Gratitude and November go hand in hand like Thanksgiving and Turkey.

For the Recovering Addict and the Christian living life attached to the vine, gratitude must be more than just 30 days a year.

"Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." The hosts reflect on the importance of incorporating gratitude into daily life.

Gratitude Beyond November:

• With Thanksgiving around the corner, the hosts emphasize that gratitude should extend beyond a seasonal practice. They highlight its relevance for everyone, not just those in recovery.

Defining Gratitude:

• Palmer defines gratitude as joy, distinguishing it from happiness. Gratitude, rooted in God, goes beyond situational feelings, reminding individuals of the depth of joy that comes from within.

Gratitude in Challenging Seasons:

• Palmer and Drew reflect on the timing of the Thanksgiving season and Christmas, emphasizing the importance of being thankful even in challenging and expensive times. Gratitude serves as a powerful perspective shifter during difficult seasons.

The Role of Gratitude in Personal Recovery:

• Josh shares how gratitude helps him remember where he came from in his recovery journey. He expresses the fear of forgetting the transformative moments and emphasizes the role of gratitude in keeping those memories alive.

Why Gratitude in Recovery:

• SHIFT IN PERSPECTIVE

After much delay to technical difficulties beyond our control, we finally present our latest testimony episode with guest Jonathan Clark as he tells of his inspiring story of overcoming the pit.

This testimony is powerful because it can be the story of anyone and it showcases the power of the grace that is second chances. Jonathan's story isn't crazy, filled with drama, nor is it far fetched. It's a story that we see all the time. It's a story of someone looking else where to help cover the hurt. What is remarkable about this story is the resilience of trying one more time. It is there in that aspect that the miracle is born, when we go from the pit to glory.

Originally Ep 050 was suppose to be "from the pit to glory" with Jonathan Clark sharing his story, but since we are still having computer issues and cannot release that episode, check out this spare episode that has been sitting in the Unashamed Recovery vault.

On this episode, the guys sit down with Amber Thomison of Strong Towers Recovery once again but this time to talk on how we can weigh the truth.

In early recovery, it's easy for us to fall victim to all the lies that are coming at us from every direction. How can we avoid these pitfalls and steer clear of the lies that are dressed up as "almost truths" or counterfeits of the real truth?

We have to weigh everything against scripture.

But how do we do that?

Well good question, and that's exactly what Amber is walking us through on this episode. As someone who was a non-believer most of her life, Amber's walk with Christ didn't start until her recovery journey when she found the truth.

Get out your bibles, get out a notebook and a pen and dig in with us on this episode as we explore how we can weigh the counterfeits against the truth.
