    On this episode of Recovery Through Christ, Pastor Jon Alworth continues his in-depth look at how the 12-Step recovery model is rooted in biblical scripture and Christian principles. Discussing why addiction is the world's longest-running pandemic—affecting millions of lives across Southeast Texas and beyond—Pastor Alworth emphasizes that true freedom and permanent deliverance are found by placing Jesus Christ at the center of recovery. In this episode, Pastor Alworth breaks down the foundational steps that break the cycle of secret shame and guilt: Recap of Steps 1–3: Honesty, Hope, and Faith—admitting our powerlessness without Christ and surrendering our lives to Him. Step 4 (Courage): Making a searching and fearless moral inventory. Taking an "ego buster" look at pride, resentments, anger, and fear, and asking God to reveal what needs to be confessed, repented of, and forsaken (Lamentations 3:40). Step 5 (Integrity): Confessing the exact nature of our wrongs to God, ourselves, and another Christian believer—bringing secrets into the light to experience genuine healing and freedom (James 5:16, 1 John 1:9).

    9/2/2026 "Breaking the Chains of Denial"

    In this episode of Recovery Through Christ, Pastor John Alworth breaks down one of the single greatest barriers to freedom and healing: denial. Grounded in scripture—including Lamentations 5:21 and John 8:32—Pastor Alworth explores how self-deception, rationalization, and external blaming keep individuals trapped in cycles of addiction, pride, anger, and emotional bondage. Drawing on both clinical insights and personal experience, Pastor Alworth outlines the four stages of denial (Unawareness, Resistance, Admission, and Acceptance) and emphasizes that true, lasting recovery begins with rigorous honesty before God and oneself. Whether dealing with substance abuse, trauma, or destructive habits, listeners are invited to step out of darkness and embrace the new identity and purpose God has designed for them. Key Topics & Highlights The Danger of Denial: Understanding denial as a defense mechanism and how rationalization, minimization, and blaming delay life-saving recovery. The 4 Stages of Denial: Unawareness $\rightarrow$ Resistance $\rightarrow$ Admission $\rightarrow$ Acceptance. Lies vs. Biblical Truth: Replacing the enemy’s lies ("This is just who I am") with the truth of God’s Word (2 Corinthians 5—becoming a new creation). The First Step to Restoration: Why surrendering powerlessness and embracing total honesty with God is essential for Christ-based recovery. Living Resurrection: Celebrating life transformation and baptismal testimonies from recovery ministries like the Open Door Mission.
