The journey to recovery for addiction, sin and shame is littered with collateral damage of family, friends and loves! But God is faithful to forgive us restore us. and heal us, just as He has done with Connor P! God is true to His promises. Over and over, God’s people are rebellious—and often indifferent—toward Him.

IS IT OK TO SAY JESUS IN MEETINGS
Episode 138
Show notes
The AA movement and meetings are increasingly becoming hostile towards the real God, Jesus! It has been almost sinful and taboo to say the name, Jesus! The truth is, however, that Alcoholics Anonymous was founded, and was effective, because of Christians. AA has its origins in the evangelical Christian Oxford Group. In fact, AA co-founder Bill Wilson credits the Oxford Group for the methodology of AA: “their large emphasis upon the principles of self-survey, confession, restitution, and the giving of oneself in service to others.” Join us as we discuss this important topic with Ervin L. and Melody C.
