What if your relapse doesn’t disqualify you? It’s just the beginning of your rebuild.
In this soul-piercing episode of Rooted & Recovered, Dan Pyles speaks directly to the weary, the ashamed, and the ones who’ve lost count of how many “day ones” they’ve had. This isn’t a message for the perfect—it’s for the fighters who are tired of falling, but still refuse to stay down.
If you’ve ever whispered, “I thought I was p...
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...
