Michelle Vargas welcome Rev. Dennis to unpack the intriguing paradox of powerlessness and power in the journey of recovery. They dive into Step 1 of the 12 Steps, exploring how acknowledging our powerlessness can help us connect with our inner spiritual Twelve Powers. Rev.

Dennis shares his personal experiences and wisdom on how spiritual grounding can transform our lives, making them more meaningful and fulfilling.

For those curious about the role of religion in recovery, this episode offers an enlightening discussion on the Trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit from both Eastern and Western perspectives.

As Rev. Dennis puts it, 'If it wasn't for religion, they probably wouldn't have figured out AA, because it was a religious group that gave them the idea of divine principles and six steps'.
