Episode 95 - Look How Far You've Come | + Original Song "Hitherto"

Episode 95 - Look How Far You've ComeRecovery can sometimes feel frustrating. We complete a Step Study, attend meetings, work with a sponsor, and still find ourselves noticing all the ways we haven't arrived yet. In this encouraging episode of Pastors in Recovery, Jon Hammond reminds pastors and ministry leaders to pause and look back at what God has already done. Using the illustration of a woodworking shop, Jon explores how recovery gives us tools, but lasting growth comes through using those tools over time, supported by healthy rhythms and authentic community.If you've ever wondered whether you're making progress, felt discouraged by your ongoing struggles, or questioned whether recovery is really working, this episode is for you.The truth is, most growth happens slowly. Through honest conversations, accountability, prayer, meetings, sponsors, and simply continuing to show up, God is shaping us into the people He created us to be.As Samuel declared in 1 Samuel 7:12:"Hitherto hath the LORD helped us."Up to this point, God has been faithful. And that's worth celebrating.Remember… God meets us in our brokenness. And that's where the journey toward restoration begins.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/pastors-in-recovery--6262503/support. Connect :🌐 www.pastorsinrecovery.com🌐Facebook.com/pastorsinrecovery📧 pastorsinrecovery@gmail.comFind the Podcast:▶️ Youtube.com/@pastorsinrecovery 🟢 Spotify and Apple Music (and all major streaming platforms) search for Pastors in RecoveryPodcast Music:🟢 Spotify and Apple Music (and all major streaming platforms) under Crashing Lyrics▶️ Youtube.com/@crashinglyrics -> Pastors in Recovery Playlist This episode includes AI-generated content.
