My guest is Dr. David DeSteno, PhD, a professor of psychology at Northeastern University. We discuss science, God and religion, including what science can and can't reveal about the existence of God and where religious faith and science do and do not align. We also discuss why questions about life's origins, miracles and the afterlife have persisted across time. Dr. DeSteno explains how religious rituals cause meaningful improvements in mental and physical health and how prayer and gratitude can markedly reduce stress, increase honesty and compassion and buffer against loneliness and despair. Finally, we explore what distinguishes religions and mission-based communities from cults, and we discuss the role that communities such as 12-step and Burning Man play in modern life.

Julian H found his "solution" in sex and porn as a youth. Living in years of shame and secrets, he kept his life as a double life - portraying himself as a good man around others, but living in fear and darkness alone. In September of 2019, his way of secret living was abolished when he was introduced to the 12 Steps by his loving Higher Power. Now, his life is forever changed as he has found a Real Solution and is committed to share this new way of life with others.  He speaks to us today on the phrase from the Big Book, "We Let God Discipline Us".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.

Today's witnesses are from a website called Ashandpri.com. (CLICK HERE for article) The article where I found these miracles is called 10 Real-Life Miracles in the 21st Century That Will Have You Believing in a Higher Power. The article is written by Annika Stepanov. I put a link to the article in the show notes, and I invite you to check it out.  I hope you enjoy hearing about these miracles as much as I did.In 2003, the city of Los Angeles, California, bore witness to an extraordinary event that left medical professionals astounded and the faithful rejoicing. Dafne Gutierrez, a young girl diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of leukemia, stood at the precipice of a dire prognosis. Her family turned to faith, seeking solace and healing through prayer. However, it was an unexpected visit from none other than Pope John Paul II that would become the catalyst for an astonishing turn of events. After the Pope's visit and a continuation of fervent prayers, Dafne experienced an unexpected and complete remission of her illness. Many regarded this healing as a divine intervention, a testament to the profound impact of faith on the human condition.On October 13, 2010, the world held its breath as the story of thirty-three miners trapped deep underground in the San José Mine in Copiapó, Chile, unfolded. A devastating mine collapse had left them entombed for an astonishing 69 days. As rescuers worked tirelessly to reach the miners, the world watched in collective hope and prayer. When the day of rescue finally arrived, the successful extraction of all thirty-three miners was hailed as nothing short of miraculous. The “Miracle at the San José Mine” not only showcased the resilience of the human spirit but also left many believing that divine intervention played a pivotal role in the miners' survival and ultimate rescue.In 2007, in the Indian city of Aligarh, a heart-wrenching tragedy transformed into a miraculous event that defied medical explanation. A newborn baby, declared lifeless by medical professionals, was prepared for her funeral procession. As the grieving family carried her lifeless body to the cremation ground, an astonishing turn of events occurred. The baby reportedly came back to life, drawing gasps of amazement and disbelief from the mourners. This astounding occurrence left many to consider it a miracle and an affirmation of the mysteries of life and death.In 2009, the city of Palermo in Italy bore witness to a miraculous event intertwined with the fight against organized crime. Lucia Borsellino, the daughter of a prominent anti-Mafia judge, faced a grim diagnosis—she was stricken with a rare and highly aggressive form of cancer. Desperate for a lifeline, her family turned to faith and embarked on a pilgrimage to the shrine of Saint Pio, a revered figure associated with miraculous healings. What followed was nothing short of remarkable—Lucia experienced a miraculous remission, leaving medical experts and the faithful alike awestruck. This event, occurring in the shadow of the fight against the Mafia, was seen by many as a symbol of hope and a divine intervention in the face of darkness.In the year 2005, the city of Aix-en-Provence in France became the backdrop for a miracle that would have profound implications. Sr. Marie Simon-Pierre, a French nun, faced a debilitating and incurable ailment—Parkinson's disease. Her prayers and devotion led her to seek solace and healing through the intercession of Pope John Paul II, who himself had battled Parkinson's. In an extraordinary turn of events, Sr. Marie Simon-Pierre claimed to have been miraculously cured of her ailment. Her healing played a pivotal role in the eventual canonization of Pope John Paul II, sparking discussions about the mysteries of faith and divine intervention.In 2010, the devastating earthquake that struck Port-au-Prince, Haiti, left unimaginable destruction and loss in its wake. Amid the rubble and heartbreak, a remarkable story emerged—one of a young Haitian orphan named Kiki. Trapped for an astonishing eight days under the debris of a collapsed building, Kiki's survival seemed miraculous. Her rescue, against all odds, was hailed as a beacon of hope amidst the tragedy, prompting discussions of divine protection and the resilience of the human spirit. The city of Naples, Italy, is known for its rich history and cultural heritage, but it also became the site of a remarkable healing in 2008. Anna Santaniello, a woman grappling with multiple sclerosis, turned to faith and embarked on a pilgrimage to the shrine of Saint Pio in San Giovanni Rotondo. What followed was an unexpected and dramatic improvement in her condition. Anna Santaniello claimed to have experienced miraculous healing, leaving many to attribute her recovery to divine intervention and underscoring the profound connection between faith and healing.In 2015, the city of Dallas, Texas, became the backdrop for a modern-day miracle that defied the odds of medical science. A couple struggling with infertility faced daunting challenges on their journey to parenthood. They turned to prayer and embarked on a pilgrimage to a religious shrine, seeking divine intervention. Their faith was rewarded with a natural conception, a joyous occurrence that left them and many others believing in the extraordinary power of faith and the miraculous.The city of Minneapolis, Minnesota, witnessed a phenomenon in 2006 that left many contemplating the mysteries of faith and preservation. A fire engulfed a mosque, reducing it to ashes, and the devastation was apparent. However, amid the charred remains, a Quran was discovered remarkably intact and unburned. This event was widely regarded as a miraculous preservation of the holy book, prompting reflections on the sanctity of faith and the unexplained forces that shape our world.In 2019, the lush and challenging wilderness of Maui, Hawaii, became the stage for a modern-day survival tale that captured the world's attention. Amanda Eller, a hiker, went missing in the rugged terrain for an astonishing 17 days. Her disappearance and the subsequent search efforts transfixed a global audience. When Amanda was found alive, despite the harsh conditions and prolonged exposure, many hailed her rescue as a miracle. This remarkable event highlighted the extraordinary resilience of the human spirit and prompted discussions about faith, hope, and the enduring power of the miraculous.I am grateful to the people who run this website and all others who let us know about the miracles that are going on in the world. Many times we can think that miracles happened when Jesus was alive, but they are not happening today, and this is not true. Miracles are happening every day, all around us.

This week we have...The hosts of this fine podcast are back for another week of whatever we feel like talking about. Sober stuff and all the rest.Mike started out with his reading and it was about the Higher Power stuff. Yes, we all need one, but it can be a bit challenging at times, especially in the beginning. We had a good conversation and it was a great reading.We had a nice comment from a follower and a new listener, plus he sent a cool reel where he tattooed an orange with our logo. (that can be watched on our Instagram page)We talked a little bit about old school TV, things we like about ourselves, asking for feedback and our instincts, negative comments, enjoying moments, relationships and one funny hiker story and one tragic hiker story. And somehow, high school yearbooks came up. Stay Cool & Have A Great Summer. We have all heard that one before, right?Enjoy the episode.Visit usPodcast  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.sobernotmature.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Store  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.sobernotmatureshop.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Hobo ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.themoderndayhobo.com

“WE AGNOGNOSTICS”, MISUNDERSTOOD. In this episode of the Take 12 Recovery Radio Show, the Monty'man, Roger McDiarmid, and Dion Miller engage in a lively discussion about the nuances of recovery, spirituality, and the concept of a higher power. They explore the misunderstandings surrounding agnosticism, the importance of open-mindedness in recovery, and the balance between truth and love. The conversation is interspersed with humor and personal anecdotes, making it both insightful and entertaining. The hosts emphasize the need for a personal relationship with a higher power and the significance of community support in the recovery journey. Closing Song: By Larry Norman.

Turning to some kind of higher power is a key component in many addiction recovery programs. And, as discussed in Osher's recent chat to 360, there's a good reason for that: it helps. But why? What does a high power even look like outside of religion? And how can this idea help us in our lives even outside of addiction? For more ideas like this, check out Osher's new book 'So What, Now What?' For tickets to Story Club, head here Get in touch with Osher hereSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a textHave you ever found yourself staring into a mirror that refuses to lie to you? That's exactly what the Fourth Step of recovery feels like. When I first heard those words—"made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves"—I knew it would be difficult. What I didn't anticipate was how completely it would transform my understanding of myself and my relationships.The Fourth Step shattered my victim mentality. After a devastating breakup, I finally faced the painful truth that had been hiding in plain sight: I was textbook codependent. Rather than honest communication, I'd built relationships around people-pleasing, manipulation, and control. I thought I was doing things for others, but I was really seeking approval and making other people my Higher Power. The realization cut deep—not only had I lost a relationship, but I'd lost my center, drifted from my program, and abandoned the principles that had saved my life.This powerful inventory process revealed how I'd been the same person in every relationship, wondering why they all ended the same way. I'd accumulated silent resentments by not speaking up about my needs or setting boundaries. I'd blamed others when I was really responsible for my own happiness and wellbeing. The Fourth Step isn't just about listing your flaws—it's about taking ownership of your story and stopping the cycle of blame that keeps you stuck. It's a reset button, a tool for ongoing growth that becomes more valuable each time you return to it with greater honesty.Whether you're in recovery or simply seeking personal growth, this episode offers insights into how unspoken boundaries create resentments, how fear of disapproval prevents authentic communication, and how taking responsibility transforms relationships from the inside out. Recovery isn't just about sobriety—it's about becoming the person you were always meant to be. I wouldn't trade the painful lessons of the Fourth Step for anything, because they've allowed me to finally live an authentic life. If you're struggling with relationships or feeling stuck in old patterns, this might be exactly what you need to hear today. Subscribe and share this episode with someone who needs these insights as much as I once did.

This week we have...Mike and Bill and we are proud to report that neither one of us attended a Cold Play concert this week. For any reason. Mike started out with his reading and it was all about trusting in someone or something other than ourselves. The Higher Power thing and others that have showed us the way. It was a good reading and a good conversation, because that is the backbone of what we need to do every day.This was a mid-summer cleanup episode, so we talked about a variety of things. There were huffing deer, the pink cloud, the fellowship (are we involved enough), peace and serenity, when we were out of control, shortcomings versus good qualities, angry feelings and a little bit about Step 4.Also, Elon Musk had an issue with his AI bot and yes, we talked about Fruit And Feelings.Enjoy the episode.Visit usPodcast  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.sobernotmature.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Store  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.sobernotmatureshop.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Hobo ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.themoderndayhobo.com

"At M2 The Rock, we fully respect the anonymity of all 12-step fellowships. In alignment with their traditions, we do not represent or speak on behalf of any of these groups. Our mission is to share hope, not affiliation."About M2 THE ROCK - MICHAEL MOLTHAN:I'm Michael Molthan, host of The M2 The Rock Show—one of the fastest-growing podcasts and shows on self-improvement, mental health, addiction recovery, and spiritual transformation. I'm so grateful you're here.I started M2 The Rock in 2017 to bring you conversations designed to make you happier, healthier, and more healed. Through raw and unfiltered discussions with experts, celebrities, thought leaders, and athletes, we uncover new perspectives on personal growth, recovery, and overcoming life's toughest challenges.My Story:What sets my journey apart is that there wasn't just one rock bottom—there were many. From being a successful luxury homebuilder to falling into addiction, homelessness, crime, and eventually 27 mugshots and prison, my life was in absolute chaos.Addiction was my temporary escape from childhood trauma, but it only led to destruction.It wasn't until I hit the lowest point imaginable that I finally found true freedom, redemption, and purpose. After an unexpected early release from prison in 2017, I walked 300 miles back to Dallas to turn myself in—only to be miraculously pardoned and told to “pay it forward.”And that's exactly what I've been doing ever since.My MissionI believe that rock bottom is not the end—it's a stepping stone to something greater.My goal is to redefine what "rock bottom" means by helping others rebuild their Spirit, Mind, and Body. On M2 The Rock, I speak openly about trauma, addiction, recovery, and the power of transformation. I don't shy away from topics like:✅ Trauma & Addiction – Understanding the root causes✅ Self-Sabotage & Mental Health – Breaking negative cycles✅ Codependency & Enabling – How relationships impact recovery✅ 12-Step Programs & Spiritual Healing – Finding true freedom✅ Religious Trauma & Personal Growth – Healing from past wounds"Everyone Is An Addict."Whether it's substances, work, validation, or negative thinking, we all have something we struggle with.But recovery is possible, and transformation is real.

ABOUT THE EPISODE:In this episode from the vault, I draw from my own experiences to share four counterintuitive strategies that can transform relationships and encourage healing when you're parenting a young person struggling with substance use and mental health. I emphasize the importance of asking questions instead of giving commands, focusing on self-reflection rather than solely on your child, trusting a higher power, and broadening your perspective to see the bigger picture. I've also included recommendations for books, podcasts, and exercises to support you on this challenging journey, promising hope and community support along the way.EPISODE RESOURCES:Episode 22 with Krissy PozatekDr. Brad Reedy's podcast, services & booksBeyond Addiction book and workbookEpisode 3 & 136 with Carrie Wilkens Ph.D.This podcast is part of a nonprofit called Hopestream CommunityLearn about The Stream, our private online community for momsFind us on Instagram hereFind us on YouTube hereDownload a free e-book, Worried Sick: A Compassionate Guide For Parents When Your Teen or Young Adult Child Misuses Drugs and AlcoholHopestream Community is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and an Amazon Associate.

Matt Bair and Ryan Hedrick get real about what a higher power means in recovery. They chat about how caregivers can really tune in to the spiritual side of healing, not just the stuff you see on the surface. Sometimes it’s hard to understand what your loved one is going through, especially when it comes to faith or belief, but Matt and Ryan break it down in a way that’s easy to get. They talk about how leaning on something bigger than yourself can give strength when recovery gets tough, and how caregivers can use that understanding to build stronger connections and support their people better.

The Mask and the Mirror: Seeing Yourself Clearly After Betrayal In this raw and revealing conversation, Dr. Kevin Skinner and MaryAnn Michaels explore what happens when betrayal, addiction, secrecy, or early trauma fracture your sense of identity. Whether you're a betrayed partner or someone who has acted out, this episode is an invitation to step out from behind the mask and face the mirror—to look honestly and compassionately at who you are, how you've been shaped, and who you're becoming. Together, Dr. Skinner and MaryAnn unpack how false identities are built from shame, secrecy, survival roles, or social expectations—and how reclaiming your identity starts by connecting with your core worth. They explore how trauma disrupts identity formation, why authenticity is essential for intimacy, and how rediscovering your core self is key to lasting healing. You'll hear personal stories, including a moment of vulnerability from MaryAnn about holding a sign that read “Porn hurt me,” and reflections on what it means to be seen, valued, and known—without hiding. Whether you feel lost in who you've become or you're just beginning to rediscover who you really are, this episode is a guidepost to help you move forward with clarity, courage, and compassion. Topics Covered: Identity loss after secrecy, betrayal, or compulsive behaviors How early trauma and sexual exposure can disrupt self-identity The difference between false self and authentic self Why intimacy requires honesty and congruence Coupleship identity before and after betrayal Core beliefs like “I'm not enough” and their influence on behavior The role of neuroplasticity in healing identity (Joe Dispenza) Internal Family Systems (IFS) and the concept of core self The challenge of letting go of survival-based roles or secondary gains How to begin reclaiming and rewriting your identity A practical reflection exercise to uncover who you are today Resources Mentioned: Joe Dispenza – On autopilot living and the science of change Quote referenced: “90 to 95% of what we do is on autopilot.” Key concept: neuroplasticity and habit stacking in identity transformation Brené Brown – On shame, secrecy, and vulnerability Quote: “Shame thrives in secrecy, silence, and judgment.” Internal Family Systems (IFS) – Exploring the parts of self Discussion of “core self” vs. protective parts shaped by trauma Barna Research (2016) – On changing cultural attitudes toward pornography Mentioned study: Teens reported it was more morally wrong to not recycle than to watch porn Patrick Carnes, Don't Call It Love Cited research on identity shifts post-recovery Key insight: Sober individuals often look back on their past selves with disdain due to identity incongruence Reflection Assignment: Title: "The Mask and the Mirror" Draw or describe two masks: The mask you show the world The mask you wear internally If you're spiritually inclined, consider a third: How does your Higher Power see you? Journal Prompt: Who am I without secrecy or shame? What is one belief I've carried about myself that no longer serves me? If I fully embraced my worth, how would I see myself differently? Bonus Question: How did betrayal or secrecy shift my identity—and how do I want to reclaim it? To learn more about healing and recovery, please visit www.humanintimacy.com
