What if your healing wasn’t the end, but the beginning of someone else’s?

In this powerful closing episode of Rooted & Recovered, Dan and Justin unpack Step Twelve of the 12-Step journey:
“Having had a spiritual awakening as a result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to others and to practice these principles in all our affairs.”

This isn’t a graduation.
It’s a commissioning.
You’re not just recovered—you’re called.

Step Twelve isn’t about polishing your past. It’s about putting it to work. Because the truth is: someone out there is still drowning in the very thing you were delivered from. And what God did in you wasn’t meant to sit in silence.
It was meant to reach back and rescue.

Key Highlights:

• Why your scars are proof, not disqualifications
• How Step 12 turns your past into a platform
• Why recovery isn’t a finish line—it’s a launching pad
• What it means to become the guide you always needed
• Why you don’t need perfection to be powerful—just obedience
• How to carry your message with humility, not hesitation

Scriptures Covered:
James 1:22 • Mark 5:1–20 • 2 Corinthians 1:3–4 • Matthew 28:19–20 • Psalm 118:24 • John 21:15–17

Final Truth:
You didn’t just survive—you’ve been sent.
Not because you’re perfect, but because you’re proof.
Not because you know everything, but because you know grace works.
You are the healing space someone else is praying for.

You are living proof that God still saves, still redeems, still rebuilds.
So don’t shrink back. Don’t go quiet. Don’t play small.

You’re not just rooted and recovered.
You’ve been entrusted.
Now carry it.

Tag someone who’s finished the steps—or just beginning—and remind them:
This is where the mission begins.

Stay rooted. Stay recovered. And let’s get to work.

What if the reason you feel stuck isn’t because God isn’t speaking—
but because you’ve stopped listening?

In this deeply intimate episode of Rooted & Recovered, Dan and Justin unpack Step Eleven of the 12-Step journey:
“Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.”

This is where recovery shifts from reaction to relationship.
From panic prayers to daily presence.
From just knowing about God to truly knowing His voice.

Step Eleven is not about performance—it’s about posture.
Because you can’t follow a God you never sit still enough to hear.

Key Highlights:

• Why prayer is your fuel, not your fire extinguisher
• How to recognize God's whisper in a world full of noise
• What the story of young Samuel teaches us about positioning ourselves to listen (1 Samuel 3)
• Why silence isn't absence—it's a sacred space for revelation
• How intimacy with God transforms recovery from survival to strength
• What it means to stop striving and start soaking

Scriptures Covered:
1 Samuel 3:1–10 • Psalm 46:10 • Luke 5:16 • John 10:27 • Mark 1:35 • Psalm 37:4 • Romans 12:2

Final Truth:
You’ll never follow God’s will if you never pause long enough to hear it.
Step Eleven isn’t about getting all the answers—it’s about getting close to the One who already has them.
Because when prayer stops being your emergency backup and becomes your daily bread,
you stop panicking…
and start walking in peace.

Don’t just know about God—know Him personally.
He’s not waiting for your perfection.
He’s waiting for your attention.

Stay rooted. Stay recovered. And let’s get to work.

What if freedom requires daily maintenance, not just a one-time breakthrough?

In this soul-piercing episode of Rooted & Recovered, Dan and Justin unpack Step Ten of the 12-Step journey:
“Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it.”

This is where recovery shifts from rescue to rhythm. Step Ten isn’t flashy, but it’s essential. It’s where freedom grows roots. Where integrity is guarded. Where relapse is caught before it takes hold. It’s not about perfection—it’s about staying honest.

Because the truth is: you don’t crash all at once.
You drift.
You ignore the warning signs.
You stop checking in.
And before you know it, you’re back in the pit God already pulled you from.

This episode will call out your excuses and stir up your soul. It’s time to stop letting old triggers write new chapters. And start walking in the daily discipline that keeps you free.

Key Highlights:

• Why Step Ten is your spiritual smoke alarm
• The difference between drifting and falling, and why both are dangerous
• What Peter’s failure and restoration teach us about grace after denial
• The dirty words we avoid in recovery: discipline and accountability
• Why delayed confession always delays healing
• Why daily inventory keeps the door of your soul locked to guilt, pride, and shame

Scriptures Covered:
Psalm 139:23–24 • Lamentations 3:40 • Proverbs 4:23 • Hebrews 3:8 • Luke 9:23 • 2 Corinthians 12:9 • John 21:15–17 • Romans 6:1–2 • Acts 2:14–41

Final Truth:
Freedom isn’t a feeling—it’s a discipline.
And Step Ten is your spiritual maintenance plan.
Because unchecked sarcasm becomes bitterness.
Unspoken guilt becomes a stronghold.
Unconfessed sin becomes a prison.

You don’t confess because you’re weak; you confess because you’re wise.
Inventory isn’t about rehearsing failure; it’s about remembering who you are.
And the quicker you own it, the quicker you heal.

Don’t let yesterday’s infection become today’s identity.
Own it fast.
Let grace clean it.
And walk lighter tomorrow.

Tag a brother or sister walking through Step Ten and remind them:
You don’t need to be perfect.
You just need to be real.

Stay rooted. Stay recovered. Let’s get to work.
