Has anything ever taken your serenity away?
Work? Kids? Financial Stress?Your favorite sport team looses? Addiction?
More than likely some thing at some time has taken your peace. Some things happen that are outside our control. On this episode Josh, Drew, & Palmer talk on how we in recovery can live in a way where we can keep our serenity even in times we have no control and live to accept that in which we have no control.
The wages of sin is death. Sin is derived in the flesh and God is delivered to us, and delivering us in, and with the Spirit.
What are you choosing to live in?
Can you not hear God's voice?
You might be living in the flesh.
Come check out this conversation with Drew and Palmer about the personal, yet inevitable battles of Spirit vs Flesh.

Recovery Fam have you ever had an Answered Prayer?
Join Palmer as he sits down with our guest Grady who shares his 'Jesus Story'.
Grady walks us through his story that starts off with a childhood living the 'American Dream' that came to a screeching halt at 10 years old when his father commited suicide. From there, Grady went down a downward spiral in his teenage years trying to numb the pain.
Trauma is no stranger in this story but so is miraculous Grace of Answered Prayers.
Episode Verse : John 15:7

On this episode, Josh & Drew sit down with guest Amy Frank to hear another powerful story of redemption.
Amy takes us back to her childhood where her story starts in "complete blindness". Amy grew up in an abusive home in Texas and came to Mississippi with her mother and siblings to get away. Because of the abuse, Amy lived a isolated childhood. Even as a kid, Amy found herself in a care taker role, not experiencing a typical childhood.
As a rebelous 16 year old with a baby, Amy found herself abandoned by her family in a time that she desperately needed them the most. Living 4 hours from her home, she found herself rejected by those she had knew all her life, and feeling completely lost a feeling that would follow her for years to come.
Years later Amy found herself alone yet again after a rough breakup. It was there that she was introduced to crack cocaine for the first time and was instantly hooked on the numbing effect of that high.
Amy spent the next few years running and chasing that high that made her forget being lost. That running eventually caught up with Amy and that's where she had her "But God" moment in a Rankin County Courtroom. A single moment that changed Amy's life from being lost to being found.

Is there something in your life that you are truly powerless against?
It can be anything really. Fresh and hot donuts for example. Even something like shopping.
When something has such a hold over us that it becomes unmanageable, that is when we can see "serenity robbers" in our life.
Join Josh on this solo episode as he talks about what it means to be powerless against the hurts, habits, hang ups, compulsions, addictions and self destructive behaviors in our lives and how we can take steps to overcome those serenity robbers that have us weighted down.
Episode Verse : 2 Corinthians 1:9 "We felt we were doomed to die and saw how powerless we were to help ourselves."

Has the consequences of a choice you made in the past finally caught up with you?
There is a old saying in the rooms of recovery, "You are free to make your own choice, but you are not free of the consequences of that choice."
On this episode of Unashamed Recovery, Josh, Drew, & Palmer talk about a common topic that involves us all....CONSEQUENCES.
We will all make bad choices, some more than others. Regardless, we will all make bad choices in life. Sometimes the payment for those choices comes instantly and other times there is a delay; but rest assured the bill always comes.
Colossians 3:25 confirms this. "..he who does wrong will be repaid for what he has done, and there is no partiality."
For some of us, we made a bad choice and that choice is what catapulted us into recovery. It only seems right that us accepting a new life in recovery would absolve us from any guilt or of any consequences from what we had done in our old life.
That is just not the case. In this episode we will hear of someone going through this exact situation. The guys break down how we should press on and continue in our sobriety and recovery even though the bill has come due.

Buckle up Recovery Fam! Because on this episode of Unashamed Recovery, Josh, Drew, & Palmer are joined by Matti Aughenbaugh from Pensacola, Fl & what a story our guest has. Matti literally takes the guys down the rabbit hole!
Just when you think you have heard it all & that it can't get any more crazier, Matti's story pushes the boundaries.
From a early childhood rooted in a family of alcholism, trauma & suicide, to adult life filled in drama, addiction & pure insanity, Matti's journey may go down the rabbit hole but it is anything but Wonderland.
Child abandonment, child abuse, culture shock, & a constant struggle in identity had backed Matti into a corner withi with the chips stacked against her.
Make sure you stick around to hear how this insane story ends because the rabbit hole always takes you further than you want to go.

Josh, Drew & John Gallagher of Black Sheep Recovery Warfare Recovery Podcast sit down with the Ministry Leader of Foundry Celebrate Recovery in Vicksburg, MS, Danny Ivey.
It's not often that Kindness follows the word Chaos
Danny's life starts off born in the pit, with the world immediately stacked against him, born into an environment of chaos and violence.
Danny's story is the living example that brokeness gets passed down, from generation to generation. Trapped in a cycle of pain, incarnations, crime, gangs, addiction and violence, Danny must finally come to face this cycle and decide whether he will continue in the insanity of the endless cycle or will he make a stand and break the cycle.
From Gang Leader to Ministry Leader. From Chaos to Kindness.

What would your life look like, if you knew without a doubt that God would rebuild the ruins of your life?
Would your life be any different?
Josh, and Drew are joined by John Gallagher of the Black Sheep Recovery Warfare Podcast to talk about just that on this episode of Unashamed Recovery.
This episode topic is centered from ACTS 15:16. In the context of that scripture we see prophecy about rebuilding the temple from the ruins.
Let's look at this scripture through the lense of recovery, especially in the aspect of our past.
The ruins may be our past, but the rebuilding happens in the present, surrounded by those who uplift us.
And as we talk about rebuilding, it's essential to address the potential setbacks and challenges. Have you faced obstacles in your recovery journey, and how did faith contribute to overcoming them?
There have been moments where it felt like the ruins were too extensive. But that's where faith steps in – it's the anchor that holds us steady. Believing in the promise of rebuilding, even in the face of setbacks, fuels the resilience needed for recovery.
"What if today I believed that God will rebuild from the ruins?"
Other Episode Verses :
Joel 2:25-27

It's that dreaded time of year again, it's another Season Finale of Unashamed Recovery. As we say goodbye to Season 4, we are going out with a bang! The guys sit down with the director of Voice of Hope Men's Recovery Program, Jon Layton.
Jon's story starts off like a lot of our stories, with a lack of accountability. From a lie from the enemy planted early in life, Jon finished high school already wrapped in the chains of addiction. Those chains only got tighter as the years went, as nearly 2 decades passed by. Living as a functioning addict, Jon lived in denial for years in the blur of his disease.
It wasn't until 25 years later that rock bottom would finally find Jon in the darkness of the pit that he had dug himself in. Jon finally heard the voice of hope that called him out of that darkness and has been living the sober life ever since.
*Huge News Recovery Fam, we are moving away from our Seasonal format. You no longer have to wait in between Seasons for new episodes. As we end Season 4 we will continue releasing new episodes every other Monday from here on out. Our next episode is December 25th, Ep055 Blue Christmas : Surviving Holiday Grief*

Josh, Drew, and Palmer are joined by the founder of End It For Good founder, TED talk speaker, and author, Christina Dent.
Christina takes us through her amazing story that led to the founding of End It For Good, a Mississippi non-profit leading the way in changing the way we talk about drugs and addiction; working behind the scenes on advocacy and education around drug policy not only in Mississippi but on a national level.
Christina's story isn't your typical story and her journey just may surprise you. Christina's sheltered childhood did not prepare her for what stepping into the role of foster mom later in life would bring her.

After much delay to technical difficulties beyond our control, we finally present our latest testimony episode with guest Jonathan Clark as he tells of his inspiring story of overcoming the pit.
This testimony is powerful because it can be the story of anyone and it showcases the power of the grace that is second chances. Jonathan's story isn't crazy, filled with drama, nor is it far fetched. It's a story that we see all the time. It's a story of someone looking else where to help cover the hurt. What is remarkable about this story is the resilience of trying one more time. It is there in that aspect that the miracle is born, when we go from the pit to glory.

Originally Ep 050 was suppose to be "from the pit to glory" with Jonathan Clark sharing his story, but since we are still having computer issues and cannot release that episode, check out this spare episode that has been sitting in the Unashamed Recovery vault.
On this episode, the guys sit down with Amber Thomison of Strong Towers Recovery once again but this time to talk on how we can weigh the truth.
In early recovery, it's easy for us to fall victim to all the lies that are coming at us from every direction. How can we avoid these pitfalls and steer clear of the lies that are dressed up as "almost truths" or counterfeits of the real truth?
We have to weigh everything against scripture.
But how do we do that?
Well good question, and that's exactly what Amber is walking us through on this episode. As someone who was a non-believer most of her life, Amber's walk with Christ didn't start until her recovery journey when she found the truth.
Get out your bibles, get out a notebook and a pen and dig in with us on this episode as we explore how we can weigh the counterfeits against the truth.

On this episode, the guys are joined by Amber Thomison of Strong Towers Recovery in Philadelphia, MS.
There is not many episodes that leave Josh, Drew and Palmer speechless, teary eyed, and in awe but this testimony definitely checked the boxes on all three.
In this episode, Amber's amazing story starts immediately in the worse case scenario, in the trenches of chaos and hopelessness. With the cards stacked against her immediately from birth, life dealt some hard hits all through Amber's childhood and teenage years through early adulthood. It wasn't until at rock bottom with a plan to overdose, that she would finally encounter a grace that would change her life forever. Grab the tissues and make sure you got a full charge cause you don't want to miss how this one ends! We can honestly say that this is a story of hope and a leading example of how we recover even when our addiction has us thinking we are unsalvageable!

S4 EP 047 - CODE RED: the truth about anger -
Are you working a honest recovery program?
If so, it’s safe to say that your sobriety from the self destructive behavior that brought you into recovery has been hard earned. Working a honest recovery is not only mandatory for successful sobriety but also very demanding. An honest recovery forces us to be continually self examining ourselves through a magnifying glass searching for any areas denial could be hiding. One such area that sneaks its way into many people's recovery is anger.
For most of us, after years of successful recovery from what brought us through the door, we find ourselves struggling with anger that has somehow slipped in undetected. At first it seems normal because everyone struggles with anger. But soon after we find it to be a crutch for us to heavily lean upon when we can no longer lean on our old habit that we are sober from.
If this all sounds too familiar and you are struggling with anger in your sober and recovery journey, pull up a chair as Josh, Drew, & Palmer sit down and get uncomfortably honest about Anger and our response to it in our recovery, in our marriages, in our parenting and every other aspect of our lives.
The guys break down anger and look at it from different verses in the Bible to answer those common questions :
Is anger biblical?
Should we completely ignore anger or is it a healthy emotion that we need to control?
Does anger harm the health of our recovery resulting in poor sobriety?
And much, much more.
If you're struggling with Anger, just know your not alone and there is hope in overcoming it.

S4 EP 044 - count it all joy :
Recovery is a delicate balance. The balance of good and bad. We want to focus on the good but also remember the bad. We can't focus on just one thing and neglect it's opposite. Likewise, we must celebrate the ups but don’t forget to also embrace the downs of your recovery journey. Even the bad days still have lessons to offer us.
Join us on this episode of Unashamed Recovery as Josh, Drew, and Palmer sit down and talk about the importances of why having Joy that is rooted in Christ as the cornerstone of our recovery process and not shallow happiness. The guys break down what is biblical joy and why it is not the same as happiness which is purely circumstantial.
Mountain top experiences are built in the trials of the valley and it is there that we learn to count it all joy!
In todays episode we are looking at James 1:2-4 :
"Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."

S4 Ep 041 - Through the Veil: Unmasking Blind Spots on the Recovery Journey
Have you ever found yourself needing to change lanes on a 4 lane highway and you look around and check your mirrors and you don't see another vehicle around so you go ahead and start drifting over only to be confronted with the surprise honk of another vehicle coming up on your side? That vehicle had been there the whole time, hiding in your blind spot.
Those of us in recovery can get blind spots too, and it's just as dangerous as crossing over onto another vehicle on a highway. Because for us, blind spots in our recovery usually means we are heading for a relapse.
Today, we're diving deep into the blind spots in recovery, guided by the wisdom and teachings found in the Scriptures. We all have blind spots—those areas of our lives that we're unaware of or struggle to see clearly. In the context of recovery, blind spots can be significant obstacles on our journey to wholeness. Just as Blind spots are often hidden from our own view, and it takes divine revelation and self-reflection to recognize and address them. So buckle up, put on your blinker as we go through the veil : unmasking blind spots on the recovery journey.
This episodes main scripture of focus comes from :
• Psalm 19:12 reminds us, "Who can discern their own errors?
and other scripture used in the episode :
•Proverbs 28:26: "Those who trust in themselves are fools, but those who walk in wisdom are kept safe."
•1 Corinthians 13:12 : "For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known."
•Proverbs 11:2 : "When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom."
•Proverbs 27:17 : "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another."
•Ecclesiastes 4:9-10: "Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up."
•Psalm 139:23-24 : "Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting."
•Galatians 6:2 : "Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ."
•Isaiah 41:10 : "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
•Romans 12:12: "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer."
other verses that can help or be applied to the process :
•2 Corinthians 12:9 : "But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.'"
**Remember that these verses provide guidance and encouragement, but personal transformation also requires prayer, reliance on God's strength, and seeking support from a community**

S4 Ep 040 - breaking the bad :
It is so easy for us to continue acting like an addict even after we get into recovery. Often times we are still carrying around the baggage of bad behaviors that we picked up in our addiction. But if we are to grow and change, those behaviors that helped us to survive, has to be replaced with good choices, because once the use stops, action has to follow. Old ways won't open new doors. And that is exactly what Josh and Drew are digging in to on this episode with 8 ways to help the process of breaking the bad.
This episodes main scripture of focus comes from :
•Galatians 5:16 -
“I say, then, walk by the Spirit and you will certainly not carry out the desire of the flesh..”

1 Peter 1:14-16 - "As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: 'Be holy, because I am holy.'"
1 Corinthians 15:33 - "Do not be misled: 'Bad company corrupts good character.'"
Colossians 3:5 - "Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.”

New this Season on Unashamed Recovery is the Recovery Minute, a weekly encouragement to help keep you sober.
This week our Recovery Minute is about the Impossibility of Serenity.
Serenity goes hand and hand with the recovery process. At first it seems unobtainable...almost impossible. We start thinking we will never be able to live in a serene state of mind inside the chaos that is our brokenness and our hurt. But, early on in our recovery journey we learn that we must give up control and surrender to our higher power. That is where the serenity prayer comes in to teach us to be okay in the moments where we can or cannot change the outcome. It teaches us to live in the moment and for us in recovery, it's crucial for us to maintain the one day at a time lifestyle. In what areas of your life can you apply serenity today?
The Serenity Prayer:
God, grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time,
enjoying one moment at a time;
accepting hardship as a pathway to peace;
taking, as Jesus did,
this sinful world as it is,
not as I would have it;
trusting that You will make all things right
if I surrender to Your will;
so that I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with You forever in the next.
Amen.

S4 Ep 039 - stay the course :
The recovery process isn’t always a mountain top experience. The excitement and the new recovery smell will soon fade. It’s then that we will open ourselves up to burnout and fatigue. It’s then in our weariness that we must press on. In this episode let's talk about perseverance in our recovery and practical ways we can implement them into our daily recovery. We are also looking at several scripture references for perseverance including :
•James 1:2-4 :
“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”
•Galatians 6:9 :
“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
•2 Corinthians 11: 23-33 :
“Are they servants of Christ, I am a better one. I am talking like a madman with far greater labors, far more imprisonments, with countless beatings, and often near death. Five times I received at the hands of the Jews the 40 lashes, three times I was beating with rods. Once I was stoned Three times I was shipwrecked a night and a day. I was adrift at sea. On frequent journeys in danger from rivers danger from robbers danger from my own people, danger from Gentiles danger in the city, danger in the wilderness, danger at sea, and danger from false brothers in toil and in hardship through many a sleepless night, in hunger and thirst, often without food and cold, and exposure. And apart from the other things, there is the daily pressure on me of my anxiety for all the churches. Who is weak, am I not weak? Who is made to fall, and I am not indignant. If I must boast I will boast of the things that show my weakness, the God and Father of the Lord Jesus, He who is blessed for ever knows that I am not lying…”
•1 Corinthians 10:13 :
"No trial has overtaken you that is not faced by others and God is faithful, He will not let you be tried beyond what you are able to bear. But with the trial, will also provide a way out so that you may be able to endure it. “
In recovery it is certain that we will become weary along the journey..but when we back our recovery with God's word and with Christ as our higher power, we can endure the seasons of weariness and Stay the Course!

New this Season on Unashamed Recovery is the Recovery Minute, a weekly encouragement to help keep you sober.
This week our Recovery Minute is on Eating Scripture.
To keep the theme going from our last episode, food is not my comfort..Jesus is, this Recovery Minute is on the topic of eating. But instead of digging in to our favorite comfort food, this Recovery Minute is on the importance of eating our daily bread to help maintain a healthy recovery journey.

S4 EP 38 - food is not my comfort..Jesus is! :
Recovery is not just to help alcoholics and substance abusers. The same principles and steps that we work in recovery can be applied to most everything we deal with in life. Most of us whether we realize it or not struggle with unhealthy food habits. Emotional eating habits are just as easy to struggle with as a nicotine addiction. So why isn't there more conversations being held about recovery from food abuse? This heavily stigmatized habit needs more light and on this episode, Josh and Drew sit down with Stacey Smith and break down recovery from emotional eating and how we can live a life outside of food as our comfort.

To go along with our last episode, the c word : codependency & recovery, this Recovery Minute is all about Expectations and how we treat others in the way we treat ourselves. Sometimes we project the expectations we have on ourself onto others. We need to remember to view others with the same tolerance and gentleness we want in our own life.
Next Monday, March 20th, is our next episode, Ep 037 Broken but Restored with guest Brent "Tank" Gilbert.
S4 EP 036 : the c word : codependency & recovery
We are back for another season! We kickstart season 4 with a topic episode on something that is becoming more and more common in recovery circles around the country....CODEPENDENCY!
On this first episode of season 4, Josh sits down with Aislin Jayroe of Open Minds Counseling in Philadelphia, MS. We figured why not jump head first into season 4 and that is what we are doing with this topic on codependency. So much confusion, myth, and misinformation surrounds the very idea of codependency that it puts fear and anxiety into our minds before we even begin to understand it. Josh and Aislin break down what is codependency and connect the dots on how we can implement a game winning strategy in our recovery against it and also what the Bible says about codependency. You just may be surprised what we found as we destigmatise the c word.
Scripture to help with Codependency :
Micah 7:5-7
Exodus 14:14
Psalms 1:1
Gal 1:10
1 Peter 5 : 7
Proverbs 3:5-6
2 Timothy 1:7
2 Chronicles 20:12-15
Hebrews 12:14-15
Romans 8:28
Psalms 23:1
Hebrews 12:2
Psalms 139:1-3
Philippians 4:6-7
Jeremiah 29:11
Exodus 20:3
And of course the Serenity Prayer

S3 EP 32 : No Shame -
Some call him the Recovery Guru some call him the Recovery Doctor with a PHD in Life.
This month, Josh & Drew sit down with Jay, a ex garbage can junkie with a buffet style drug use who has turned his life around and living the sweet recovery life. Jay's recovery path is a little off the beaten path and is not the normal journey.
Jay, a local Mississippian, takes us down into the pages of his story. From a rough childhood to a lover of rum cake, all the way to a career as a firefighter chasing adrenaline; Jay was using the experience of trauma as an excuse to use. His passion for helping was ultimately setting the stage for his later downfall in addiction. So pull up a seat as we get a front row experience into Jay's life of no shame.

S3 EP 31 : love lived out -
Last month, we heard a remarkable story of how one person was saved by grace.
In this month's episode we are looking at addiction from the point of view of the spouse of an addict.
Josh and Drew sit down with Krisha, the founder of Spouses Choosing Hope in Addiction and Recovery [S.C.H.A.R.] a support group that is for the spouses of addicts. Krisha drops us right into the middle of her story that set the stage to ultimately create S.C.H.A.R. and how it was born out of recycled pain when she found out she had been married to an addict. At the end, Krisha learns what it truly means of love lived out.

S3 EP 030 : saved by grace - Last month, Josh and Drew talked on what it meant to Live Unashamed. On this episode we see a first hand example of that. Josh and Drew sit down with Kristen who just celebrated 6 years of sobriety! But as Josh and Drew dig into Kristen's story, we learn it hasn't always been rainbows and butterflies. Kristen's story is like so many others and yet hers is so different. Even her pathway to recovery is not your typical journey. So, buckle up, pour a glass of sweet tea and dig in as Kristen walks the guys through her story of addiction and how she eventually ended up in the South where her story took an unexpected turn when she was saved by grace. • Email Kristen : kristenburgess3@icloud.com • Find Kristen on Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100070800823580 • Watch this episode : https://youtu.be/qxCh_I8rlpc • Check out some fresh Unashamed Recovery merchandise : https://my-store-bd9d4f.creator-spring.com • Like this episode?

S3 Ep 029 : living unashamed -
Eventually we will get to a place inside our recovery that will require us to step outside of the blanket of protection that our anonymity provides. Step 12 requires us to share what we have learned with others; to give back to the program that gave so much to us. When we work the program properly, by the time we get to Step 12, we should be at a place of healing that now allows us to own our story and to be comfortable in shedding the anonymity and sharing the hope. In this episode Josh & Drew talk what it means to live unashamed in our recovery and sobriety, after all it is our namesake, so trust us when we say we are semi professionals when it comes to living unashamed!

S3 Ep 028 : fixing brokenness
Forgiveness. Amends. Reconciliation.
Inside recovery circles all over the world, we hear these three words a lot!
Seriously, A LOT!
This is especially true when we move into working Steps 8, 9 and even parts of Step 10. Even more so, we get so complacent with these words that we even begin to use them almost interchangeably in our recovery vocabulary.
But no matter how we use them, are they the same?
Are they different?
Regardless, depending on how they are worked, they will either make or break our recovery journey.
On this episode, Josh & Drew sit down with Pastor Jim of NorthPark Church of God in Meridian, MS to get a clear understanding of exactly what is biblical Reconciliation & how it plays in to our daily recovery work.
As we approach the middle of Season 3, we only have 6 more episodes left in this season. This season is definitely rushing by, but we are slowing way down on this episode as we are taking a good, solid look at how we can detach forgiveness from reconciliation, how it looks when properly applied & how our recovery depends on true reconciliation when dealing with fixing brokenness.

S3 Ep 027 : H.O.W. to stay in recovery
Even the most veteran member of any recovery program can be at risk of falling out of recovery. It's a slippery slope that we are all vulnerable to.
So how can we make sure we stick to the program?
That's the question Josh & Drew sit down to discuss on this episode of Unashamed, & H.O.W. is the answer.
Honest, Openness, and Willingness.
H.O.W. can keep you on a balance view & if maintained properly can be extremely beneficial to any stage of recovery. Just 3 simple ingredients but when added into the mix of other tools in your recovery, it will produce the strength & longevity needed for the long haul of the recovery journey.

S3 Ep 026 : the pruning
Have you ever found yourself in the midst of a storm and immediately thought
''what commandment have I broken, what have I done wrong?"
or the all too common,
"Am I being punished by God?"
While those are natural thoughts to have, in this episode, Josh and Drew sit down with Katie Sanders of Mess & Mercy Ministries to talk about a rare topic among Christian Recovery circles.
Pruning.
Sometimes when we are in the midst of a storm, we could just be going through a pruning from God to help us grow and become more fruitfulness.
But how does this look in our own recovery? Josh, Drew & Katie dig deep to answer that question, because after all, sometimes those storms aren't storms, they are just the pruning.

S2 Ep 018 : doom & gloom Who’s ready for a topic show? It’s been since Season 1 where we have sat down and discussed addiction & recovery related topics. We figured it was time to change that! So on this episode of Unashamed, Josh & Drew are talking about a road block we all face at one time or another in our recovery journey—discouragement. The thing about discouragement is that it can come out of anywhere and can come from anything. If we are not careful that doom & gloom hanging over our recovery can lead to a relapse.

S2 Ep 015 - masks : the war with myself | Josh’s Story
As we continue into Season 2, Josh takes a turn in the hot seat for this episode.
Josh's story is a lot like many other men. Josh's drug of choice isn't your typical fix of drug or alcohol. At a young age Josh was introduced to porn and from that moment he was thrown into the rabbit hole that he didn't escape from for over 20 years. What started off as a 'innocent' image of the monthly playmate led to infidelity. Inside the chaos of Josh's addiction, he did like so many addicts and learn to embrace the use of masks to survive. Josh had a mask for everything.. One for church, another for work, a home mask, family mask, husband mask, father mask, and the list went on. Josh became very good at juggling those masks and became good at wearing the right mask at the right time to be the person he was expected to be. Masks gives us the illusion that we are in control. Even at rock bottom Josh still thought he was in control of his addiction.

Get ready for a staggering and thrilling journey that takes us off the beaten path of recovery. Did you know that over 80% of people with a opioid addiction, started with a legitimate prescription for a legitimate medical issue? And that is exactly the situation Shauna had found herself in. A legitimate prescription to control legitimate pain sustained from a wreck. That was when Shauna found herself completely submerged into the prescription opioid epidemic that had saturated post- Katrina Mississippi. Shauna, your ordinary soccer mom, was soon in unfamiliar territory as DEA agents surrounded her car and had her face down in a parking lot in Hattiesburg, MS in August of 2008. Her opioid addiction had spiraled out of control and had landed her into forging prescriptions throughout South Mississippi. But through those wounds came the gift of a second chance that she spends helping others lost in addiction.
