In this episode, Nate takes us through Steps 5, 6, and 7. We find an empathetic confessor and face the truth about ourselves.  Then, resisting the urge to plunge again into a campaign of self-improvement, we turn instead to God, asking him to do for us what we cannot do for ourselves.

By acknowledging that our past actions have injured others and making amends, we help both them and ourselves.

Nate concludes our exploration of the Twelve Steps by walking through Steps 10, 11, and 12.
