Ready, Not Repair: Why the Cross Comes First. Celebrate Recovery part 9

In this episode Brock Jones examines Celebrate Recovery’s “Ready” and “Victory” lessons and asks whether their recovery model matches the New Testament pattern of sanctification. He argues that true transformation begins with Christ’s finished work—our union with Jesus in the cross and resurrection—then the Holy Spirit produces progressive change, not a step-by-step self-repair process. The episode contrasts Celebrate Recovery’s focus on removing character defects with biblical passages like Romans 6 and Ephesians 4, urging listeners to root their faith in Christ’s work and yield to the Spirit for lasting victory over sin.
