We examine the Biblical/Scriptural foundations behind the 12-Step recovery process. Our driving question is, “What would my program look like, if Jesus were my sponsor?” We will examine the scriptural basis behind each step, and suggest practical ways of putting each to work in our lives.

    Step 7: Application - Letting Go

    To complete this step, we must lower ourselves before God. That is, be humble. Then we ask him to take all the ugly junk from steps 4-6, and remove it from us. This is the hinge on which the entire process turns. The previous steps brought us here. The freedom we find in Step 7 empowers all the following steps.

    Step 6: Application: Calling the Garbage Man!

    There’s good reason that the “Serenity Prayer” has been an integral part of 12-step recovery from the earliest days. It becomes our guide to implementing Step 6.

    Step 6: Ready to Give Away My Junk!

    In Step 6, we come to the point that we are ENTIRELY ready to let God remove our failure, our guilt, and our sin. The previous 5 steps have empowered this one. Now, it’s time to take out my trash! And never let it come back.

    Step 5 - Application: Confession

    I confess the nature of my moral failing to God, to myself, and to one other. By naming it, I can define it, and send it out of my heart.

    Step 5: Honest Confession

    In Step 5, we confess - to God, ourselves, and one other person…the nature, the root…of our wrongs. It’s a big step. But, it has a very meaningful purpose.
