This part dives deeper into Bill's spiritual awakening, the critical moments that led to lasting sobriety, and how his experience laid the foundation for what would become the AA program. Eric walks us through the powerful shift that took place once Bill fully surrendered—highlighting the principles, the pain, and ultimately the peace that came from choosing recovery. Whether you're just getting started or have been sober for years, this episode brings fresh perspective and clarity to one of the most transformational stories in recovery.

This is the sixth episode of a six part book study over "Searching for and Maintaining Peace" by Fr. Jacques Philippe. I am joined by Katie Novitsky and Stefani Blackwell, and we go over part 3 of the book. Part 3 is a robust summary of everything from the book using the quotes of saints. Saints are great models for us as we try to grow in holiness. Being just regular people like us, we can relate to their struggles and learn tactics and thought patterns from them that help us as we grow in virtue and fall further in love with God. Use these quotes to help remind you of some of the things we have learned through this book, and if there is a particular saint that stands out to you from these quotes, take that as an invitation to get to know that saint more and ask for their intercession. Just like you might ask a friend to pray for an intention, you can ask a saint! As we know from James 5:16, "The fervent prayer of a righteous person is very powerful."Episode schedule:January 21st - preface, pt 1: ch 1-3January 28th - pt. 1: ch 4-7February 4th - pt. 2, ch 1-6February 11th - pt. 2, ch 7-12February 18th - pt. 2, ch 13-18February 25th - pt. 3Discussion Questions: How was your week? Was there anything from last week's discussion that stayed with you throughout the week? Share one saint quote that was especially meaningful to you. Is there a saint whose writing style/thoughts particularly stand out to you? Maybe this is your invitation to get to know that saint more! As you look back at this entire book, what is one thing that stands out to you? How can you continue to remember this message? As Katie reminds us, you cannot give true peace if you don't have it yourself. Who in your life needs peace right now? Are there any ideas from this book that can help you be a peaceful presence in their life? When hearing the story of Martha and Mary, who do you relate to more? Is it possible to maintain a spirit of peace, even when you have a lot of tasks to complete? Read 2 Corinthians 12:7-10. What does it mean to "boast" of our weaknesses, and how can it bring us closer to God? Pg. 106 - 107 speaks on living in the present moment. Take a moment to pray for God to relinquish you from regrets of the past and from fears of the future. Pray for each person present that God may claim their soul for Himself and enliven each moment of their days.
This is the fifth episode of a six part book study over "Searching for and Maintaining Peace" by Fr. Jacques Philippe. I am joined by Katie Novitsky and Stefani Blackwell, and we go over chapters 13-18 in part 2 of the book. This section of part two deals mainly with how we respond after our own failures and faults. Fr. Jacques encourages us to not get too down on ourselves, but rather to try to come back to a peaceful state as quickly as possible. We cannot "fix" ourselves so that we will never fail, but God can certainly grow and heal us so that we may fall less frequently, but we remember that ALL of God's work is done in PEACE. Thus, returning to peace is the best way to truly rid ourselves of our vices and temptations toward sin. This section also guides us on how to make decisions. If you would like more detailed help in this area, check out the series I did on decision-making in November, 2022. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-better-part-intentional-living-for-christian-moms/id1481909779?i=1000584622291Join us next week for episode 6, where we will discuss part 3..Episode schedule:January 21st - preface, pt 1: ch 1-3January 28th - pt. 1: ch 4-7February 4th - pt. 2, ch 1-6February 11th - pt. 2, ch 7-12February 18th - pt. 2, ch 13-18February 25th - pt. 3Discussion Questions: How was your week? Was there anything from last week's discussion that stayed with you throughout the week? Share one quote from this section that was especially meaningful to you. Is there a particular area that you often find yourself lacking grace, patience, or peace? When you find yourself failing in a familiar way, do you lean more toward being too easy or too hard on yourself? Read over the prayer that is in quotation marks on pg. 58. Which part of that prayer stands out most to you? Ch. 14 argues that our own sins and failures can sometimes lead us to a good. Have you experienced this in your life? Maybe a personality that is both a weakness and a strength? Or a bad situation that led to something good happening? The book argues that spiritual progress isn't necessarily learning to never fail, but being able to return to peace quickly after each failure. Is there something in your life lately that removes you from peace for longer than you'd like? Do you have a go-to person from whom you always ask for advice when you are making a big decision? Who is it and why? Pg. 74 says it is normal to not always have a clear answer from God when making decisions. Share a time when God's will has been clear in your decision making or share a time when it has not. What decisions are you dealing with right now?
