Faith and recovery
For people of faith. A 7-day course on the gap between belief and behavior, guilt vs. shame, forgiveness as practice, and discipline beyond white-knuckle willpo
Day by day
- The Extra Weight. Spiritual shame adds a second layer: not just ‘I did something wrong’ but ‘I am wrong.’ This course meets you wherever you are.
- Guilt That Heals, Shame That Paralyzes. Guilt identifies a gap you can close. Shame says you are the gap. One heals. The other paralyzes.
- The Gap Between Belief and Behavior. Do not wait until you are clean to show up spiritually. Showing up imperfect is not hypocrisy, it is honesty.
- Forgiveness as Practice. Forgiveness is not a one-time event. It is a discipline you return to every time the shame cycle restarts.
- When Community Helps and When It Hurts. Good accountability offers presence without surveillance. If your community requires perfection as the price of admission, the problem is with the community.
- Spiritual Discipline vs. White-Knuckle Willpower. Willpower is a sprint that burns out. Spiritual discipline is a daily trail that reshapes you through showing up.
- Where Your Faith Meets Your Recovery. The question is not whether faith helps recovery. It is how to let it help without letting it become another source of shame.
