Episode 11: Rooted & Recovered - Learning to Listen
Manage episode 489889022 series 3656592
What if the reason you feel stuck isn’t because God isn’t speaking—
but because you’ve stopped listening?
In this deeply intimate episode of Rooted & Recovered, Dan and Justin unpack Step Eleven of the 12-Step journey:
“Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.”
This is where recovery shifts from reaction to relationship.
From panic prayers to daily presence.
From just knowing about God to truly knowing His voice.
Step Eleven is not about performance—it’s about posture.
Because you can’t follow a God you never sit still enough to hear.
Key Highlights:
- Why prayer is your fuel, not your fire extinguisher
- How to recognize God's whisper in a world full of noise
- What the story of young Samuel teaches us about positioning ourselves to listen (1 Samuel 3)
- Why silence isn't absence—it's a sacred space for revelation
- How intimacy with God transforms recovery from survival to strength
- What it means to stop striving and start soaking
Scriptures Covered:
1 Samuel 3:1–10 • Psalm 46:10 • Luke 5:16 • John 10:27 • Mark 1:35 • Psalm 37:4 • Romans 12:2
Final Truth:
You’ll never follow God’s will if you never pause long enough to hear it.
Step Eleven isn’t about getting all the answers—it’s about getting close to the One who already has them.
Because when prayer stops being your emergency backup and becomes your daily bread,
you stop panicking…
and start walking in peace.
Don’t just know about God—know Him personally.
He’s not waiting for your perfection.
He’s waiting for your attention.
Stay rooted. Stay recovered. And let’s get to work.
