12 Steps to Recovery From Grief

12 Steps to Recovery From GriefAre you stuck in the grief process? Often in our grief, we oppose God, argue with Him, plead with Him for healing, and cut people out of our lives. Understanding spiritual truths will put us on a path of healing to help us move beyond our grief. These Twelve Steps will help us move from the death grip of grief to the restoration of life.

1. Open our hearts to God’s power to free us from the grip of grief.
There is great power in realizing that we are powerless. “Our great power is from God, not from ourselves” (2 Cor. 4:7). [Read more…]

What Does a Healthy Relationship Look Like?

What Does a Healthy Relationship Look Like?Do you know what a healthy relationship looks like? Knowing the difference between healthy and unhealthy relationships can be extremely difficult, especially if you’ve had a pattern of unhealthy relationships. Here are six key attributes that every friendship, marriage, and relationship need.

1. Affection
Affection is one of the best ways to show love. However, if you grew up in a family where affection was not shown, it may be hard for you to show affection. When one person loves another, it is normal and healthy to show affection for each other. [Read more…]

11 Signs and Symptoms of a Reactive Life

11 Signs and Symptoms of a Reactive LifeWe deny
It’s easy to ignore our issues.  Like the disabled man in John 5 who waited for years by a pool to be healed, so we are looking for a magical cure to make us whole.  But healing doesn’t come instantaneously.  In fact, it takes hard work to stop reacting and turn to Christ who encourages us to “Get up!  Pick up your mat and walk!” (John 5:8).

We minimize
Let’s face it: Our issues are huge!  However, we try to make ourselves feel better by saying that they’re small.  Admit the truth, and you will be on the road to recovery.  The Living Bible puts it this way: “You can’t heal a wound by saying it’s not there,” (Jeremiah 6:14). [Read more…]

13 Keys to Reaching Your Goals

13 Keys To Reaching Your GoalsWe all love a promise of a fresh start! Where do we begin? Here are some keys to achieving your goals:

  1. Start with God. Trusting God with your goals means believing that He is the source of all good things and that He can instruct you about what is good.
  2. Make following God your primary goal, then as you reach your other goals, He will guide you in determining what they are and in reaching them.
  3. To reach your goals, say “yes” to who you are and “no” to others’ definitions and expectations of you.
  4. Sometimes it is just not God’s will that we reach a particular goal. Yet it is not His will that you never reach any of your goals. If that seems to be happening, look for how it may be a pattern in your life that needs addressing. [Read more…]

Do You Want 20/20 Vision?

Do You Want 20 20 VisionTake a look around you. Can you see everything in your surroundings? Most of us would say yes. But the truth is, whether your vision is 20/20 or corrected by lenses, the answer is the same: no matter how hard you try, you cannot see everything around you.

The human eye has a blind spot—a small area on the retina, about the size of a pencil eraser, without photoreceptors. We usually aren’t aware of this blind spot because our brains fill in this blank area with the surrounding images, making our visual field appear seamless. But this is an optical illusion. With one eye closed, any object passing through this small field will disappear momentarily. [Read more…]

Welcome to Life Recovery

We believe everyone can benefit from a Life Recovery experience. We all have struggles in life; struggles with addictions, food, depression, anxiety, and relationships to name a few. But we approach recovery from different angles. Some want a formal recovery meeting with a traditional recovery experience. Others want a recovery experience in a small informal group, or in an existing group they are already comfortable with at their church. And some may prefer learning about recovery at their own pace before jumping into a group or meeting experience. This is the beauty of Life Recovery. Unlike other Christian recovery approaches that mandate how and where their recovery ministry can be employed, Life Recovery brings Christian recovery to you – right where you’re at.
