Week 1 - ROOTED

In your life, in your recovery, you will encounter different seasons…and you don’t get to decide when these seasons come and when they go. But you do get to decide how you will respond to each season—how you will embrace and live in each season. New seasons can be terrifying and every new season brings with it a loss of control—an uprooting, things are different. How will you stay rooted when it feels like your life has been uprooted?

Brandon Nelson will join me as our Guest Storyteller. Brandon got sober in December 2020. He and his family began attending FREE shortly afterwards. He had just been pummeled by a season of attempted “controlled drinking.” Brandon has experienced different seasons in his sobriety. But now, nearly three years into recovery, he is finding himself in a new season and he’s relying on spiritual principles—acceptance, honesty, vulnerability, prayer & meditation. In his words: “I’m good at praying because I don’t like to shut up. But meditation is about listening for God, and that’s when I hear the solution.” Brandon will share with us how he’s staying rooted in this new season he is facing.
