Real Life, Real Stories, Real God



What makes this Home Run movie so special to me? The stories shared in the film are all real. There is nothing more dramatic than real life is there?
If you have seen the movie already, you may recall this powerful testimony of Rick Cottle being shared. The man in this picture is the man whose story gets shared in the movie. Wow! True life change!
I watch this movie and cry with tears of joy in knowing the lives that have been impacted in so many ways thru this ministry, including my own.

Think for a moment about the next "Rick" that may not walk into a church but would go to a movie. Think for a moment what miracle might be waiting today, in your city, in your theater, today. The person(s) you invite today just might be the next walking miracle. Will you be there to witness it in person?
God's Word says in Ezekiel, "I will look for those that are lost, bring back those that wander off, bandage those that are hurt, and heal those that are sick..."

We know this movie works.  We KNOW that people are turning to CR when they see it. Today (Sunday) is extremely important!! Who will you take today to see this film? Let's have no regrets.
This is what we have been working for the last 2 1/2 years. Lets finish strong team. They said it couldn't be done, but with God all things are possible.

12 Days Of CR Christmas

One of our great leader Monica rewrote the lyrics to this old Christmas song to tie into the 12 steps. We had a lot of fun singing it and love that it keeps the focus on the 12 steps thru Christmas. Great job Monica! On the first day of Christmas, my Savior gave to me, the notion it’s not about me; On the second day of Christmas, my Savior gave to me, my sanity, and the notion it’s not about me. On the third day of Christmas, my Savior gave to me, the will to be faithful, my sanity, and the notion it’s not about me. On the fourth day of Christmas, my Savior gave to me, my inventory, will to be faithful, my sanity, and the notion it’s not about me. On the fifth day of Christmas, my Savior gave to me, the chance to come clean! my Inventory, faithfulness, my sanity, and the notion it’s not about me On the sixth day of Christmas, my Savior gave to me, desire to be humble, the chance to come clean! my Inventory, faithfulness, my sanity, and the notion it’s not about me.

Why do we introduce ourselves?

One of the things that might confuse a newcomer coming into this great ministry is the way we introduce our self and do so every time we meet in a Step Group and/or Open discussion group. The question that often comes up is; “Why in the world would we have to introduce our self every time we come together? I mean, we all know each other don’t we? We all know what the other is struggling with right? So why should I have to state my main issue I am dealing with? These are all logical questions and I think the below content from Tina at Saddleback might help shed some light on this. As you may already know, in our small groups we ask our Leaders to introduce themselves with this statement: “Hi my name is _______; I am a believer who struggles with________.” We ask our leaders to keep it short; to stick to one or two primary areas of recovery. We ask them not to state a host of recovery issues and character defects, etc… especially because we do not run recovery specific groups for cha

Verbal Reality--Why you can't believe an addict and what you can do as a co-dependent

I recently came across the below article when websurfing for information about verbal reality, a concept a friend introduced me to last year during a time I was trying to figure out is someone was telling me the truth or not. The below article is specifically for Porn addiction, and comes from a very good website, but I've found it true with all addictive behaviors. If you've never heard of Verbal Reality, and you question whether or not your spouse is being honest, this is a good way to help you sort it out, and a great tool for your recovery. ______ Consider This. (from http://www.pornaddicthubby.com/Help-For-The-Addict.html) Addicts of any kind live in a "verbal reality." This means if they say it, it is true and if they say it passionately enough even they believe it is really true. Men who have an addiction to porn live in a verbal reality. A sex addict believes what he is saying while he is saying it. Your most helpful tool in dealing with verbal reality is look
