    7/22/2026 "Restoration Beyond Addiction: Facing Your IRS Problems with Faith and Action"

    In this episode of Recovery Through Christ, Pastor Jon Alworth explores how addiction often leads to isolation, fear, and avoiding life's mounting responsibilities—including financial and tax burdens. Joined by tax attorney and former IRS counsel Lance Stodghill, Pastor Jon shares his own journey of overcoming insurmountable tax debt during recovery. Together, they break down the deep parallels between addiction recovery and tackling debt: confronting pride, taking personal responsibility, and seeking help instead of sticking your head in the sand. Lance walks through the six concrete options for resolving back taxes—from installment agreements and Offers in Compromise to the "Fresh Start" program—and provides actionable steps and free resources (like VITA and Low-Income Taxpayer Clinics) to help you get back on track. Key Topics Covered: Isolation and Trauma: Understanding the roots of addiction and how it pulls us away from family, friends, and reality. Overcoming IRS Fear: Why hitting rock bottom financially might actually be the best time to settle tax issues. The 6 Ways to Handle Tax Debt: A breakdown of full payment, installment plans, Offers in Compromise, bankruptcy, currently not collectible status, and why the "ostrich method" never works. Rebuilding Your Life: Moving out of darkness, restoring relationships, and practical steps to regain financial and spiritual peace.

    6/3/2026 "Recognizing Supernatural Opportunities in the Everyday (Part 1)"

    "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them." — Ephesians 2:10 Most people spend their entire lives waiting for a booming voice from heaven, a dramatic Damascus Road encounter, or a spectacular, earth-shaking miracle to prove God is real. But what if God is trying to get your attention right now through the ordinary, chaotic, or even painful circumstances of your life? In this incredibly transparent episode of Recovery Through Christ, Pastor John Alworth shares what it looks like to tune your spiritual vision to recognize supernatural opportunities. Reflecting on his own past, Pastor John opens up about hitting rock bottom: battling severe health issues, drowning in debt to the IRS, facing isolation, and losing his family. Yet, it was precisely in that cornered moment that God supernaturally intervened through a single, unexpected phone call that changed the trajectory of his life forever. Highlights From This Episode: The Living Miracle of Transformation: Why a person walking off the streets, surrendering a decade-long addiction, and gaining a clear mind is the greatest modern-day miracle you will ever see. The Holy Spirit Nudge: Understanding our role as Christ's ambassadors and co-workers (2 Corinthians 5-6), and how the gift of the Holy Spirit actively guides us through ordinary choices. Problems vs. Opportunities: How a massive giant like Goliath looked like a death sentence to an army, but a supernatural promotion to a shepherd boy named David. God’s Multi-Faceted Healing: A powerful look at the different ways God answers prayer—whether through instant divine deliverance, the miracle of medical science, or ultimate eternal healing. Your current struggle—whether it’s addiction, a fractured marriage, or a financial storm—is not an accident. God hasn't abandoned you; He is inviting you to step onto the water. Stop looking for the spectacular and start looking for the supernatural in your everyday routine.
