Intro to Codependence – Restoration | Healing | New Beginnings

We did it! We made is through the last class and I am so grateful for each and every one of you. I honestly can’t believe how much my understanding of “where to go from here” has changed over the years. Time and experience gave some insight that I didn’t have when I began the… Continue reading Chapter 12: Final Thoughts

Hello everyone! I apologize for the delay for those who are following along. We had a great class on boundaries last Tuesday, and I want to remind you that next week is our final session. You are welcome to move over to our Thursday class based on A House that Grace Built as we deal… Continue reading Chapter 11: Building Healthy Boundaries

in this class we began by discussing the important subject of “systems.” The goal of recovery isn’t so much that we fix the external behaviors and circumstances, but rather that we learn to move away from a system of shame, and take hold of a system of grace. As grace is activated and real in… Continue reading Chapter 10: Embracing Authentic Identity

This class highlighted important truths not just about forgiving others, but about the nature of authentic healing. In recovery, we don’t simply “forgive” people in an obligatory manner. Rather, we must learn to forgive by dealing with the violations for the damage they imposed,  and being given permission to both hate and hurt over it.… Continue reading Chapter 9: Offering the Gift of Forgiveness

Learning how to walk in forgiveness is at the heart of all forms of redemption. Forgiveness is the doorway, the access point to all true freedom. This class was pre-recorded and then played to a live class/webinar two weeks ago. It is in YouTube format as opposed to our normal webinar. We are testing this… Continue reading Chapter 8: Receiving Forgiveness

They tried to illustrate His heart and how He in general viewed people. He was filled with the language of grace, had compassionate affection and… Continue reading Chapter 7: Facing Shame

This past week we stopped for a moment from the material and received some tools to be equipped to pray!  While some of us don’t feel “spiritual enough” to pray “right”, we must understand that if we simply pour ourselves before the Lord in such a manner that welcomes Him into our situations, He will move… Continue reading Prayer Workshop

We looked at the principle of denial this week – and above anything I want to encourage each of you in the journey. This stuff isn’t easy, but it’s worth it. I want to share some of the thoughts I had on facebook regarding denial and the reason why we need to face the past.… Continue reading Chapter 6: Facing Denial

The topic of surrender came to us on a cold and rainy day in Southern California! Yes, we are spoiled rotten and rain practically shuts us down completely! Still, alot of people managed to show up and display the commitment to work through this. I have been amazed to witness the faithfulness! For those of… Continue reading Intro to Coda: Chapter 5 – Surrender
