"Every one of these principles in the Twelve Steps you can trace... to biblical scripture." — Pastor John Alworth Almost everyone is dealing with a recovery of some sort, whether it is from addiction, pain, depression, or the heavy cycle of shame and guilt. In this live broadcast of Recovery Through Christ, Pastor John Alworth breaks down how the principles of traditional 12-step recovery programs—such as AA, NA, and Celebrate Recovery—are actually deeply rooted in the Holy Bible. Pastor Alworth walks listeners through the 12 key Christian principles that mirror a faithful walk with Jesus: honesty, hope, faith, courage, integrity, willingness, humility, love, discipline, patience, awareness, and service. He directly compares traditional 12-step wording with a Christ-centered perspective, demonstrating how real, lasting deliverance from the bondage of sin and addiction is only unlocked when you crown Jesus Christ as the Lord of your life. Tune in to discover how the truth of Scripture can break the chains of denial, restore broken family relationships, and lead you out of the darkness and into His marvelous light. If you missed any part of this broadcast, you can catch the full podcast at KKHT.com. Join us again next week for an incredible lineup of special guests, including a powerful personal testimony and an interview with Pastor John Hammond of Hope for All in Jesus Prison Ministry!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Adam S., has been walking in the sunlight of the Spirit since his Aquarian sobriety date of January 26, 2018, living in permanent abstinence from all mind-altering substances, one day at a time. Recovery is Adam's path of awakening, rooted in the Twelve Steps, the Big Book, a Higher Power of his own understanding, and the daily choice to align with truth instead of illusion, love instead of fear. As a grateful double winner in AA and Al-Anon, he has learned that emotional sobriety is the next frontier, and every day is Day One in the work of freedom from emotional inebriation, allowing his spirit to lead where his ego once did. Adam believes that we're here to remember who we really are through honesty, humility, service, and conscious contact with the Divine, carrying the message through the way we live more than the words we speak. As the Big Book reminds us, “We are not cured of alcoholism. What we really have is a daily reprieve contingent on the maintenance of our spiritual condition.”Reco12 is an open-to-all addictions and afflictions organization, dedicated to exploring the common threads of the differing manifestations of alcoholism; sharing tools, and offering hope from those walking a similar path.

Ash originally found recovery in 2015 with local meetings. After leaving support groups when her son was born, she returned in 2023 to find more support than ever through zoom meetings. There, she met people who were happy, joyous and free. She knew she desperately wanted what they had, so she began to do what they did. And she will always be grateful for those who have gone before her. Reco12 is an open-to-all addictions and afflictions organization, dedicated to exploring the common threads of the differing manifestations of alcoholism; sharing tools, and offering hope from those walking a similar path.

Jim is an alcoholic whose solution was always alcohol. It gave him the ease and comfort he couldn't find anywhere else—until it didn't. After several starts and stops in Alcoholics Anonymous, Jim found his way back and today has more than 15 years of sobriety.  Sobriety Date: 09/15/2010Referred by: Joel (Episode #301)InstagramFacebook

Episode is from 2022The Big Book says we are powerless over one thing - alcohol.Yet it goes on and on about our ability to impact those around us, in both helpful and in unhelpful ways. Powerless means having "an inability to influence". And the definition of influence: the capacity to have an effect on the character, development, or behavior of someone or something, or the effect itself.In this episode I talk about this and I answer some of your questions.email: sarcasticbigbook@gmail.com

Andy's sobriety date is October 21, 2005 and his Home group is currently the same group that he joined when he first came in- the Morning After Group of Westwood, New Jersey, now both on Zoom and in person. AA saved Andy's life- He says that he can never give back to A.A. what's been given to him but he can try one day at a time. As the result of the 12 Steps-being protected by god, at home with self, and connected to a community, Andy has moved from a taker to a giver- from a greedy soul towards having a servants heart. The journey has been generous- the job god has Andy doing is to engage another alcoholic in spiritual activity so he can live a useful life today.  His topic today is A New World Came Into View.If you would like to get in connection with Lisa.S or Andy H, please send an email to reco12pod@gmail.com.  Information on Noodle It Out with Nikki M Big Book Roundtable Informational Seeking and educating on how to donate to Reco12.Support the showPrivate Facebook GroupInstagram PageBecome a Reco12 Spearhead (Monthly Supporter)PatreonPayPalVenmo: @Reco-TwelveYouTube ChannelReco12 WebsiteEmail:  reco12pod@gmail.com to join WhatsApp GroupReco12 Shares PodcastReco12 Shares Record a Share LinkReco12 Noodle It Out with Nikki M PodcastReco12 Big Book Roundtable Podcast

Everyone says seat-based pricing is dead, but do you actually have an outcome you can charge for? In episode #377, Ben Murray breaks down the 12 steps to building an outcome-based pricing plan, drawn from analyzing real, live outcome-based pricing pages and the fine print buried in their terms and conditions. Outcome pricing is complex to design and even harder for customers to understand: when are they charged, and where is the failure point at which they aren't? For SaaS founders and CFOs weighing a move to outcome- or agentic-AI pricing, getting the unit, success criteria, and spend controls right is the difference between a model customers trust and one that creates budget anxiety and billing disputes. How to decide whether you even have a billable outcome, and why a completed customer result is not the same as an activity. How to define the outcome unit and write success criteria twice, with real examples from Intercom's Fin, Help Scout's AI Answers, and Zendesk's 72-hour resolution window. Why failure forgiveness is a conversion tool, not just billing logic, and how measurement windows protect you from outcomes that unravel later. How to choose your commercial structure, anchor price to labor savings, revenue, or risk avoidance, and plan for the training lag before charges begin. Why spend controls and auditable billing events are non-negotiable, and how to know when outcome pricing is the wrong model entirely. Tune in for the full framework, then grab the deep-dive blog post before you design your next AI pricing plan.

in this episode Andrew dives into an essential aspect of the Buddha's path to awakening, The 4 Great Efforts. Early in his life, the Buddha discovered that he can categorize his mental states into two baskets: wholesome and unwholesome. he saw that wholesome mind states led to his welfare and happiness and the welfare and happiness of others, and he became resolute to prevent and abandon the type of mind states that led to his suffering and the suffering of those around him. Here's a look at how to do it. Enjoy!  Last day to register for the WHMC retreat is TODAY!

Finding new musicians for your band sounds simple until your DMs turn into a crime scene.This week on Cover Band Confidential, Adam and Dan break down what actually goes into replacing a band member, filling a sub spot, or building a roster without losing your mind in the process. Adam is in the middle of this right now with Members Only as their longtime drummer transitions out of rotation, so this one is less “theoretical advice” and more “live footage from the hiring trenches.”We talk through the practical steps that make the search less painful: defining the role, being clear about the project, writing a specific audition post, asking for video early, using trusted referrals, being honest about money, filtering for availability, and auditioning people for the actual job they'll be doing.Because finding the best player is not always the same thing as finding the right player.Also in this episode: Adam recaps a Midwest family trip through Chicago, Saugatuck, South Bend, Notre Dame, Wrigleyville, and Chicago Music Exchange The emotional danger of playing an $8,000 Les Paul that unfortunately feels worth it Dan previews a trip to Utah and Las Vegas, including a possible live band karaoke meetup at The Venetian Why “clear communication” is basically the whole episode The value of asking for audition video before wasting everyone's time Why availability can matter as much as talent How to spot professional habits before someone is officially in the band Why a trial period protects both the band and the new player The terrifying concept of “musician icks” Finding band members is a slog, but you can make it less sloggy. And if you're leading the project, the goal is not just to find a player. It's to be the kind of band leader people actually want to work with.#CoverBandConfidential #CoverBandTips #WorkingMusician #BandLeader #GiggingMusician #CoverBand #LiveMusicBusiness #BandAuditions #MusicianLife #WeddingBand #CorporateBand #DrummerSearch #BandManagement #MusicPodcast #LiveBandTipscover band confidential, cover band podcast, working musician podcast, how to find musicians for a band, how to audition band members, finding a drummer, band audition tips, cover band tips, gigging musician advice, band leader advice, how to replace a band member, musician auditions, hiring musicians for a band, wedding band musicians, corporate band musicians, live band business, band management tips, how to run a cover band, professional musician habits, finding reliable musicians, musician availability, audition video for musicians, band rehearsal prep, cover band drummer, live music podcast
