Rhythms of Recovery Podcast

08. Rhythm of Give

Giving isn’t about doing more—it’s about overflowing with what Christ has already given you. In this episode, we explore how the rhythm of Give invites us to step into a life of generosity rooted in our new identity in Christ. We talk about why true giving begins with receiving, how sharing our stories and serving others shapes our own spiritual growth, and why this rhythm becomes a natural outpouring of God’s work in us. Whether you feel full or empty today, this rhythm reminds us that in Christ we lack nothing—and we’re freed to offer our time, gifts, and lives for the good of others.

07. Rhythm of Persevere

Perseverance isn’t about perfection—it’s about returning to Christ daily and trusting His grace for today. In this episode, we talk about what it means to keep walking with Jesus even when it’s hard, how the rhythms of recovery help us endure over time, and how our identity in Christ strengthens us to keep going. Whether you’re in a season of growth or struggle, this rhythm reminds us that God is doing a slow, faithful work in us.

06. Rhythm of Forgive & Repair

Forgiveness and repair are rhythms of restoration. Forgiveness cancels debts, not by ignoring harm, but by remembering truthfully and extending grace—just as Christ has done for us. Repair is our response when we have caused harm, moving us to make thoughtful amends and pursue reconciliation with wisdom and hope. Joining us for this conversation is Shanda Anderson, LPC-S, EMDR Trained, who brings deep insight into the healing power of these rhythms in our relationships and recovery journeys.

05. Rhythm of Repent

To repent is to turn—away from sin and idols, and toward Christ and life in Him. It's not just behavior modification; it's resurrection in action. In this episode, we explore the transformative power of true repentance and how it flows from the inside out, beginning with the heart and leading to lasting change.   Together, we reflect on how repentance is rooted in remembering the gospel: we are wholly forgiven, set free, and defined by Christ—not our failures. As we turn from idols like control, significance, and comfort, we find deeper joy and freedom in God's presence.   Join us as we unpack what it means to walk in repentance and reframe our stories within the greater story of Jesus’ grace and resurrection hope.

Rhythm of Examine & Confess: Grief

Grief is a deeply human experience—one that touches every life and often reveals what we love, long for, and fear to lose. While many of us try to avoid grief, Scripture invites us to bring our sorrow to God and examine how it's shaping our hearts. In this episode, we're joined by Crystal Wilkins, LPC-S, RPT-S, CCLS, to talk about the role of grief in spiritual formation. We explore how unprocessed grief can lead to disconnection from God and others, and how honest examination opens the door to healing, hope, and deeper intimacy with Christ.
