Struggling to change but feeling stuck in the same habits — even with prayer and effort? Step 7 of the 12 Steps offers a powerful shift: instead of relying on willpower, we humbly ask God to remove our shortcomings.
In this episode of Reshape and Recover, Julie and Tony explore the heart of Step 7 — what it really means to surrender our character defects to God without shame or self-condemnation. Together, they talk about the difference between humility and self-hate, and how to invite the Holy Spirit to not just remove what holds us back, but replace it with the fruit of the Spirit.
You'll hear:
• Why transformation is a spiritual process — not just a mental one
• How to approach God with confidence, not guilt
• The truth about what God thinks of you (hint: He rejoices over you!)
• Practical ways to start your day walking by the Spirit instead of the flesh
Whether you're deep in recovery or just beginning, this episode will remind you that you’re not alone — and that God’s grace really does change everything.
