Pray

November 26, 2018 By Juanita Ryan

Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge. Psalm 62:8 When we are faced with difficulties in life, we need support from friends and family. We also need God’s help. Perhaps the most direct way to open ourselves to God is through prayer. Prayer can be many things. Prayer does not need to be long or complicated.

Summer Institute of Recovery Studies – 2018 – CANCELLED

Part of working a decent recovery program is practicing rigorous honesty. With that core value in mind we are cancelling our Summer Institute of Recovery Studies event for 2018. Our registrations at this time are simply not robust enough to make this an affordable event for the NACR. That does NOT mean we are jettisoning our commitment to provide the content that we hoped to present at the 3-day … [Read more...] about Summer Institute of Recovery Studies – 2018 – CANCELLED

The year our oldest son dropped out of high school and became an addict was a very dark and difficult year for us. It was also a time of deeper exposure to life’s most important lessons. I didn’t fully realize it until much later, but it was during that anguished time that I gained a greater understanding of humility, honesty, courage, trust and grace. In this week’s post I want to continue … [Read more...] about What I Learned While Our Son Was Still Using Drugs: Part II

If your god is not God, fire him.

by Dale Ryan There is a difference—sometimes an enormous difference—between the God of our doctrinal statements and the god we live with every day. Our theological convictions may be thoroughly orthodox, but we may actually serve a god who is quick to anger and slow to forgive. Or a god who shames his followers. Or a god who is punitive and rejecting. That was my experience. I was close to … [Read more...] about If your god is not God, fire him.

Receiving Forgiveness as Prayer

November 12, 2012 By Juanita Ryan

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. I John 1:9 God is a forgiving God. God extends the gift of forgiveness to us, asking us to receive it as a gift. Not glibly, as if nothing has happened. Not proudly as if we have earned this gift. But with godly sorrow and humility we are asked to receive the gift of forgiveness … [Read more...] about Receiving Forgiveness as Prayer

Seeing Ourselves More Clearly

by Juanita Ryan I remember looking in the mirror as a teenager and asking myself, Who am I? Who is that person staring back at me? At the time I didn't realize that I had already been answering that question for many years. As I look back now on those years it is clear to me that my answer to the question Who am I? was, I am a good person. That was who I was; I was … [Read more...] about Seeing Ourselves More Clearly
