The Process Of Recovery In Christ

"Aligning Our Hearts With God's Heart for the Lost"

Episode Description In this powerful episode of The Process of Recovery in Christ, John sits down with a special guest, Jerry, who opens the conversation with a moving testimony from his childhood in India. Jerry shares how God first revealed Himself to him as a young boy, how those early encounters shaped his faith, and how the Lord continued to pursue him through seasons of struggle, searching, and surrender. From there, John and Jerry dive into a deeply needed conversation about aligning our hearts with God's heart for the lost. Together they explore what Scripture reveals about God's compassion, His desire that none should perish, and the way the Holy Spirit burdens us—not to overwhelm us, but to invite us into intercession, obedience, and revival. They talk through the weight Paul carried for the unsaved, the personal revival God calls each of us into, and the humbling reality that when God stirs our hearts, He is actually sharing His own. If you've been feeling a tug to pray for someone far from God… if you've sensed a growing ache for the lost… or if you simply want your heart to beat in rhythm with the Father's, this episode will speak directly to you. Let God begin revival in the circle around your own feet—and watch how He uses it to reach families, communities, and generations. 🎧 Listen now at TheProcessInChrist.net [https://theprocessinchrist.net/?utm_source=copilot.com] theprocessinchrist.net [https://theprocessinchrist.net/] We pray that you enjoy this Podcast, if you want to know more about having a relationship with Jesus Christ please contact us at TheProcessOfRecoveryInChrist@gmail.com.

"When Weakness Becomes Strength — Surrendering the Thorn"

Podcast Description — The Process of Recovery in Christ Episode: "When Weakness Becomes Strength — Understanding the Thorn" In this powerful episode of The Process of Recovery in Christ, John and Christine unpack one of the most misunderstood passages in Scripture — Paul's "thorn in the flesh" from 2 Corinthians 12. Many quote it, but few grasp the depth of what Paul was truly experiencing… and what it means for our recovery today. Together, they explore how God uses both blessings and burdens to shape us, how the thorn exposes weakness but doesn't disqualify us, and why surrender is the doorway to real transformation. Through practical imagery — like a marathon runner pushing forward with a pebble in his shoe — they reveal the difference between the thorn itself and the deeper issue that keeps us from surrendering it to Christ. This episode dives into: * Why God allowed Paul's thorn — and why He allows ours * The process of surrender that leads to strength * The difference between the thorn and the thing holding you back * How grace meets us in weakness, not after it * What it means to finish the race through Christ's power, not our own With honesty, Scripture, and real‑life recovery insight, John and Christine remind us that the thorn is not our enemy — it's the place where Jesus meets us. And surrender is not defeat — it's the beginning of freedom. If you're walking through struggle, temptation, or the slow, steady process of recovery, this episode will speak directly to your heart. Recovery is a process — but Jesus is faithful in every step. 🎧 Listen now at TheProcessInChrist.net [https://theprocessinchrist.net/?utm_source=copilot.com] and read Sam Shoemaker's "I Stand by the Door" — the poem that continues to inspire generations of believers and recovery communities alike. theprocessinchrist.net [https://theprocessinchrist.net/] We pray that you enjoy this Podcast, if you want to know more about having a relationship with Jesus Christ please contact us at TheProcessOfRecoveryInChrist@gmail.com.

"Standing By The Door" A reflection on Rev. Sam Shoemakers poem

Podcast Description: "Standing by the Door — The Process of Recovery in Christ" In this week's episode, John and Christine dive deep into the heart of Sam Shoemaker's timeless poem "I Stand by the Door." Shoemaker's words remind us that recovery isn't about rushing ahead or pretending we've arrived — it's about staying close enough to the doorway of grace so we can help others find their way in. Together, we explore what it means to "stand by the door" in our own lives and ministries — to be people who remember what it felt like to be lost, and who choose to stay accessible, compassionate, and ready to guide the next person toward Christ. This conversation unpacks how humility, patience, and presence are essential parts of The Process of Recovery in Christ. It's not about perfection; it's about proximity — staying near the place where grace meets brokenness. If you've ever wondered how your story can help someone else find hope, this episode will speak to you. 🎧 Listen now at TheProcessInChrist.net [https://theprocessinchrist.net/?utm_source=copilot.com] and read Sam Shoemaker's "I Stand by the Door" — the poem that continues to inspire generations of believers and recovery communities alike. theprocessinchrist.net [https://theprocessinchrist.net/] We pray that you enjoy this Podcast, if you want to know more about having a relationship with Jesus Christ please contact us at TheProcessOfRecoveryInChrist@gmail.com.

From Scripture to the quiet prompting of the Holy Spirit, John and Christine unpack how God communicates through His Word, His Spirit, and the peace that confirms His guidance. They share personal reflections on prayer, marriage counseling, and the daily practice of asking, "Lord, speak to me through Your Word."

Keep Coming Back

Podcast Description — "Persevering Even When You Have Doubt" This week, John and Christine dive deep into a truth every believer—and every person in recovery—needs to hear: you can persevere even when you have doubt. Inspired by James 1:2–5, this episode explores how God uses trials, uncertainty, and even our doubts to produce patience, maturity, and unshakable faith. John shares a powerful moment from a recent men's breakfast, where one brother—still wrestling with doubt, still unsure of the journey—showed up anyway. And in that simple act of returning, God was already doing more than he realized. In this conversation, you'll hear: • Why doubt doesn't disqualify you • How perseverance is built one step at a time • Why "just keep coming back" is more than a slogan—it's a spiritual strategy • How God uses community to strengthen us when we feel tied down • Why the process itself "lacks nothing," even when it feels slow Whether you're struggling with sobriety, faith, or simply staying the course, this episode will remind you that God is working in the very places you feel weakest. Every time you show up, every time you return, every time you choose faith over feelings—you are being shaped into a man or woman of great faith. Don't be held back. Keep coming. God is doing more than you can see. Tune in and be strengthened for the journey. theprocessinchrist.net [https://theprocessinchrist.net/] We pray that you enjoy this Podcast, if you want to know more about having a relationship with Jesus Christ please contact us at TheProcessOfRecoveryInChrist@gmail.com.
