Celebrate Recovery Official

In recovery we learn there is a wrestling match happening inside of us. One part of you knows something needs to change, but another part of you does everything it can to avoid it. Which part should you listen to? What if neither part is your enemy? What if one part is trying to protect you from pain, while the other is inviting you into healing? In this episode, Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery, will walk us through how to have a posture of mercy, kindness, and grace toward that protective side of us while we lean into the other side that wants and desperately needs change as we weigh the cost of staying and hiding in our protections.

It’s one of the biggest mysteries in this healing process, but pain that is hidden grows and becomes destructive. But, the healing and transformation process happens when we allow it to be witnessed by God and other safe people. In this episode, Rodney Holmstrom, global field Director of celebrate recovery, will walk us through the process of allowing our pain to no longer be hidden, but witnessed by the body of Christ.

We're continuing of the conversation of building a proactive plan when the enemy tries to punch us in the mouth and the storms of life try to take us out. In this episode, Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field, Director of celebrate recovery, will wrap up the conversation of some proactive steps that we can take and even lean into what we might do when we do have setbacks toward the next right choices to take after we fall down.

Sometimes in the recovery journey, we can become complacent and comfortable and get blindsided, by the punches in the mouth that life can send us. It's an important conversation to have to help us understand ways that we can keep on the road to recovery and health. In this episode, Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery, will help us lean into some important reminders to keep us on the road recovery when life's storms come our way.

One of the enemies schemes... to convince us that we shouldn't have to ask for help and it's not OK to be "not OK." However, in celebrate recovery, whether you're in day 1 or 10,001 there are always days that we are going to need connection with another human being. Every day we need connection with the Father, and we are wired for connection with each other. In this episode, Rodney Holmstrom, global field director of celebrate recovery, will unpack this important topic to help us understand that admitting the need is not weakness while holding space and understanding that we don't want to embrace hopelessness either. God meets us in pain so that we don't have to stay there. What is the value of inviting other people into our pain and what does the scripture say about it?

One of the biggest myths in recovery that we learn is that the enemy will convince us to avoid our pain at all costs. If we lean into and face our pain, it will only make it worse. That is a complete lie. There's an old quote that reads, "at some point protecting our pain can become protecting the prison it built". What are some things to think about and the costs to weigh in on in avoiding our wounds in our life? In this episode, Rodney Holmstrom, global field director of celebrate recovery, will lean into this important question and what it looks like to not only acknowledge our wounds, but heal from our wounds and walk out of the prison that our years of avoiding our pain has built.

Walking this road to recovery requires having people around us. We can't face our brokenness without God and others. But sometimes the relationships on earth can get messy and dysfunctional and even become complex and tricky. What do we do when they become difficult and messy and even drama filled and chaotic? In this episode, Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field, Director of celebrate recovery, will unpack the importance of how to maintain peace amidst the chaotic relationships happening around us.

Whether your day, one or day 10,001 of your recovery journey, we all will have days where we feel lost, discouraged, and even alone based on things that are happening around us and the inside of us. What are the steps toward Hope and healing when we're in this desperate place? In this episode, Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field, Director of celebrate recovery, will unpack some important reminders for us to think about in the midst of our struggle to help point us toward hope and keep us on the path, keeping our eyes on Jesus through the process.
