Episodes
What if freedom isn’t the absence of struggle but the presence of a fight you refuse to lose?
In this raw and powerful episode of Rooted & Recovered, Dan Pyles unpacks what it really means to stay free after the initial breakthrough. Recovery doesn’t end the war; it just starts the training. And sometimes, the hardest battles come after you’ve already said yes to freedom.
This episode isn’t for the ones still trying...
You blew it again.
You promised it would never happen. You meant it when you said the prayers, swore the oaths, made the commitments. But somehow, here you are… face down in shame, silence, and self-hate. And now the enemy whispers:
"God’s done with you."
In this raw, vulnerable, and deeply redemptive episode, Dan gets brutally honest about a truth most of us are afraid to ask out loud:
What if...
No one talks about it, but it’s real. That ache… that whisper…
“I miss who I used to be.”
You don’t miss the chaos.
You don’t miss the brokenness.
But maybe… just maybe… you miss the boldness, the numbness, the version of you that didn’t feel everything so deeply.
In this raw and unfiltered episode of Rooted & Recovered, Dan dives deep into one of the hardest truths of recovery: you will grieve the ol...
What if God still loves you when you don’t feel it?
In this brutally honest episode of Rooted & Recovered, Dan speaks to the soul that’s tired, dry, and wondering why everything that once felt so alive now feels so silent. The high wore off, not just the drug high. The spiritual high faded too. The worship doesn’t hit the same. The Word feels quiet. The fire is flickering. And you’re left asking: Did I lose somethi...
We live in a world that tells us to hide what hurts, filter the pain, fake the smile, pretend we’re fine. But what if the very thing you’re trying to cover is the very thing God wants to use?
This episode is for anyone who feels disqualified by their past—anyone still carrying the weight of what they wish never happened. In Scars That Speak, Dan takes us deep into the truth that in the Kingdom of God, scars don’t disqu...
Have you ever felt like you’ve run out of chances? Like this time, grace won’t come through? Like you’ve crossed the line where mercy used to be?
This episode is for the one who feels disqualified, discarded, and done. But here’s the truth: grace doesn’t come with an expiration date.
Join Dan as he dives deep into the lie the enemy loves to whisper: “This time, it’s too late.” Through raw honesty, biblical truth, and pe...
What if the place that almost destroyed you is where God planned to meet you?
In this raw, powerful kickoff to Season Two of Rooted & Recovered, Dan unpacks the moment everything fell apart—and how grace met him there. Rock bottom isn’t just the end of your rope… it might be the beginning of your calling. Because while the world saw wreckage, heaven saw a meeting place.
This episode is for the ones who are still ble...
What if your healing wasn’t the end, but the beginning of someone else’s?
In this powerful closing episode of Rooted & Recovered, Dan and Justin unpack Step Twelve of the 12-Step journey:
“Having had a spiritual awakening as a result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to others and to practice these principles in all our affairs.”
This isn’t a graduation.
It’s a commissioning.
You’re not j...
What if the reason you feel stuck isn’t because God isn’t speaking—
but because you’ve stopped listening?
In this deeply intimate episode of Rooted & Recovered, Dan and Justin unpack Step Eleven of the 12-Step journey:
“Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.”
This is where recovery shifts...
What if freedom requires daily maintenance, not just a one-time breakthrough?
In this soul-piercing episode of Rooted & Recovered, Dan and Justin unpack Step Ten of the 12-Step journey:
“Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it.”
This is where recovery shifts from rescue to rhythm. Step Ten isn’t flashy, but it’s essential. It’s where freedom grows roots. Where integrity...
What if freedom costs more than an apology?
In this gut-wrenching episode of Rooted & Recovered, Dan and Justin unpack Step Nine of the 12-Step journey:
“Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.”
This is where recovery gets real. It’s no longer about admitting the damage—it’s about repairing it. Step Nine isn’t just about saying “I’m sorry.” It’s abo...
What if your freedom starts with a name?
In this deeply challenging episode of Rooted & Recovered, Dan and Justin walk through Step Eight of the 12-Step journey: “Made a list of all persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all.”
This is the step where recovery shifts from just cleaning the inside to addressing the damage on the outside. It’s about taking ownership, facing the people you’ve hur...
What if the very thing you're clinging to is the thing that’s controlling you?
In this raw and unfiltered episode of Rooted & Recovered, Dan and Justin walk through Step Seven of the 12-Step journey: “We humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.”
This is the line in the sand, the moment where faith gets real. It’s not about just asking God to help—you’re asking Him to take it for real. This is the step where...
What if the thing you're still clinging to is the very thing keeping you stuck?
In this raw, honest episode of Rooted & Recovered, Dan and Justin dig deep into Step Six of the 12-Step journey: “We were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.”
This isn’t just about being tired of your mess—it’s about being ready to let God remove it. Step Six is the place where survival strategies meet ...
What if the freedom you’re desperate for is hiding behind the secret you refuse to face?
In this vulnerable and powerful episode of Rooted & Recovered, Dan and Justin open the door on Step Five: “Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.”
This is the step that makes many pause—but it’s also the step where real healing begins. Silence doesn’t protect you—it imprisons yo...
Have you ever stood in front of the mirror and couldn’t face what was looking back?
In this raw and real episode of Rooted & Recovered, Dan and Justin dive into Step Four of the 12-Step Program: “Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.” This is the step that many people want to skip—but it’s also where true healing begins.

What if your breakthrough depends on your willingness to give up control?
