June 14 - Steady in the Storm

June 14 - Steady in the Storm Anybody can stay calm when life is easy. The real test is what you do when everything goes sideways at once — and whether the tools you've learned actually hold. In this episode, Corey and Pastor Mike unpack how recovery becomes a design for living that works in rough going (Big Book p. 15). Corey shares the 12 spiritual principles of the steps he recites on his morning walks as a moving meditation, and Mike tells the story of an employee collapsing in his boardroom — and the difference between the person running down the hall in a panic and the person calling 911 and reaching for the AED. Same crisis. Different preparation. They dig into the AA triangle — recovery, unity, service — and the three-legged stool that keeps you steady, plus an honest look at what church gives you and the one piece it can miss: identifying alcoholism as an illness, not just a sin. John 16:33 lands the close: in this world you will have trouble, but take heart — I have overcome the world. Reacting out of faith instead of fear. That's the whole design. Strength is revealed not in calm moments, but in how I respond when everything feels uncertain.
