In this episode, WE HAVE A SPECIAL GUEST! Ruby La Bianca and I discuss what is looks like to surrender to the process of letting God work the soil of your heart, how Jesus is the high priest who relates to us even in surrender, and how the process may not be without uncomfortability but there are such amazing moments of sweetness throughout. We look at several passages of scripture, Jesus' last words on the cross, and our own personal experiences to draw the conclusion that any unsurrendered ground IS the enemy's territory. 

In S3E6 of the SheRecovery Podcast, you'll hear from Crystal Renaud Day as she announces the untimely end of Season 3 due to the unexpected events that have unfolded in her and her mom's lives the last couple of weeks: a fire and a bad case of covid. Perhaps things haven't gone as planned for you in your recovery or in other areas of your life either.  Be encouraged that when things don't work out the way we plan, God is still able to make good. 

Thank you for your understanding, for your listenership, and for your prayers. We encourage that if you haven’t, go check out the other two full seasons of the SheRecovery Podcast for some remarkable interviews and information to help you not just in your behavioral recovery, but in your spiritual and emotional healing as well. 

And stay tuned for the return of the SheRecovery Podcast in the months to come.

In S3E5 of the SheRecovery Podcast, you'll hear from Crystal Renaud Day along with her mom and special guest Gina Renaud as they walk through 90 Days to Wholeness™ recovery devotional in our Whole New Year series. In this week's episode, Crystal and Gina continue their discussion on the second step in the devotional confession by  introducing a form of confession you may not be familiar with:  Affirmation.

Affirmation is defined as:

1. the action or process of affirming something or being affirmed. It’s a declaration, statement or assurance that something is true.
2. emotional support or encouragement.

 Affirmations should be positive and true, but many of us have only heard negative things declared about us from parents, boyfriends, classmates, etc. like, “you are ugly,” “you will never amount to anything,” or “you’re not good enough.” A number of us have made own own negative statements about ourselves when we mess up or make a mistake.

After a while we start to believe them, and our soul becomes damaged. Many women have unknowingly turned to pornography, masturbation and other sexual behaviors as a means of soothing or covering up their hurts.

Scripture says there is life and death in the power of words. Listen as Crystal and Gina share steps to break the hold of negative words and beliefs and how to heal the damage they have caused.

We're talking about cultivating faith in our daughters, especially if they don't like or have a church, youth group, or para church group. Beth talks with Bethany Beal, co-founder of Girl Defined Ministries a popular YouTube channel, conference, podcast and book series for young Christian women. 

As you listen, consider:

Do you know of a young woman who could serve as a mentor?

What are the positive messages you and/or daughter hear and listen to? What is God's view? Do you see this as a stumbling block for faith?

Do you feel equipped to have hard conversations about sexuality, identity, and more with her? What can you do to feel more prepared?

In S3E4 of the SheRecovery Podcast, you'll hear from Crystal Renaud Day along with her mom and special guest Gina Renaud as they walk through 90 Days to Wholeness™ recovery devotional in our Whole New Year series.  In this week’s episode, Crystal and Gina begin their discussion on the second recovery step outlined in the devotional: Confession. 

The biblical definition of confession is the acknowledging or confessing of sins before God. 

The first step in confession is realizing what sin is, how you may have inadvertently got there, and how to get right with God. One of the ways to recognize sin is that as you continue doing wrong things, they escalate to uncontrollable urges or impulses and unhealthy practices. What we do is planting seeds and nurturing them by continuing these behaviors. You don’t realize what’s been planted in your soul until you start producing fruit. By now you are seeing the negative results, feeling dirty, sad, shameful, secretive maybe even experiencing sickness in your mind and body. 

• 1 Corinthians 6:18

So, now comes the Good News about Confession. Acknowledging and confessing our sins (our wrong doings) to God opens the door to the process of cleansing. A release from the baggage weighing you down.

•  Proverbs 28:13

Every human whether committing sexual sins or not needs to confess their sins. Everyone accepting God will start a sanctification process, a new way of life. Yours may look different initially because of the nature of your sins, but take heart. Once you confess your personal sins to God and ask forgiveness for them, you are restored to perfect fellowship and communion with Him.

• 1 Thessalonians 4:3 
• 1 John 1:9

Be specific in your confession, but don’t beat yourself up. Acknowledge what you’ve done. God knows and He is ready to receive you. 

Confess to others (like your SheRecovery meeting). Hearing yourself own up to moral failure to other safe people is a good foundation to keep you from making excuses about why you have sinned.

•  James 5:16

As long as you are alive on this earth, you will have sin. If you should slip up, stop and confess your sin to God. Do not allow the enemy to lie to you and cause shame. God does not shame, He merely reveals, so you can confess and start over. He will strengthen you.

In S3E2 of the SheRecovery Podcast, you'll hear from Crystal Renaud Day along with her mom and special guest Gina Renaud as they walk through 90 Days to Wholeness™ recovery devotional in our Whole New Year series. In this episode, they continue their 3-part discussion on the topic of Surrender.

Last week they discussed Surrender as a need to stop trying to be the boss because we do not have the power to change on our own. We acknowledged our need for spiritual assistance. This week, they discuss Surrender as term used in warfare or battle. 

You are probably unaware, but war was declared on us while we were in our mother’s womb. The devil (enemy) has hated us from the very beginning because he hates God and we are image-bearers of God! Now that you are making a decision to leave your harmful ways behind, you may have noticed a fight has begun.

Hopefully, you have begun to turn to God as you are learning to surrender to the most benevolent, but powerful Being ever. At times you are still going to encounter the devil, and old habits will try to entice you again. You will need to fill up your spirit with the word of God to gain victory. By surrendering to God, He gives you power, armor, and weapons which are supernatural to fight and win. 

Scripture Helps

Power

• Ephesians 6:10
• Nehemiah 8:10
• Psalm 144:1

Enemies

• Ephesians 6:11-12  

Armor 

• Ephesians 6:13-17

Weapons

• 2 Corinthians 10:4-5
• Ephesians 6:18  

Next Steps

1. Surrender to God, resist the devil and he must flee.
2. Get an easy to read or understand version of the Bible such as the New Living Translation
3. Read the Bible and personalize it. Speak it out loud.
4. Read the Psalms. The writer was a warrior and a poet who voiced his discouragement, but turned to God.
