When we struggle it can be really difficult, and sometimes we even face impossible situations that may feel like there's no answer.

In our poverty, there's the need to admit we're powerless—that life is not okay anymore and figure out what do we do with that.

And as we are brought to our kness—utterly defeated. We can let go of ourselves as our own authority and give ourselves to a greater power, to Christ.

Only then can we make a daily decision to turn our will to the care of God—say Yes to the connection we have with Him every day, even with all the craziness that's going on.

This episode talks about the first three steps of The Twelve Steps that allow the foundation of our lives and our hearts to be set in experiencing renewal and recovery. And it is a reminder that tells us when we can't, Jesus can. We just have to let him.
