18.8K dołączyło
Join Scott Weeman, founder of Catholic in Recovery, and producer Jim Wahlberg for this journey through the 12 Steps to Catholic Recovery. Maybe your struggle has a name, such as alcohol, lust, food, gambling, control. Maybe it doesn't, and you only know the fear, the resentment, the pattern you can't seem to break. Maybe you're here because someone you love is struggling and you don't know how to carry it. Wherever you're coming from, know this: you are not alone, and you are not beyond hope. Together we'll pray through each Step, hear from people who've lived them, and rediscover the mercy God is longing to give us. Learn more about Catholic in Recovery: https://catholicinrecovery.com
