Why is submitting to God a necessary step? Can't I just skip this part? David and Eileen discuss at length why surrender (and why it's hard) are incorporated and necessary elements of healing. They also take time to discuss the trap of men who put on religion as another mask to avoid accountability or intimacy/truth. How this is another avoidant tactic and keeps us from God's purpose of healing and recovery also.  Have a question you want answered on the podcast? Interested in being a guest?
