✝️ YOUR STRUGGLES ARE NOT YOUR IDENTITY.

This year at the Celebrate Recovery Summit and West Gathering, Pastor Johnny Baker shared a powerful reminder about identity and how we see ourselves:

“I am not my struggles. You are not your struggles. I am not my sin. You are not your sin. It doesn’t define me.”

So often, we allow our past, our mistakes, our hurts, hang-ups, and habits to become labels we carry.

Addict. Broken. Failure. Unworthy. Too far gone.

But those labels are not who God says we are. ❤️

Pastor Johnny continued:

“You and I can live in the freedom of who God made us: a child of God. A deeply loved and chased-after sheep who causes the Shepherd to rejoice when He finds him.”

That’s the heart of recovery.

We acknowledge our struggles. We take responsibility for our choices. We work the steps and principles. But we don't have to make our struggles our identity.

Our identity is found in Jesus Christ.

🐑 You are pursued.
❤️ You are deeply loved.
✝️ You are a child of God.
🙌 Your past does not get the final word.

Your struggle may be part of your story, but it doesn't have to define you.

What label have you had to surrender to begin seeing yourself the way God sees you?

❤️‍🩹 FOREVER FAMILY, HERE’S AN IMPORTANT REMINDER: KEEP COMING BACK!

Whether you're attending your very first Celebrate Recovery meeting or you've been part of our Forever Family for years, recovery is a journey and every step matters.

Some weeks you'll walk through the doors celebrating a victory. 🙌

Other weeks, just walking through those doors is the victory.

There may be days when you're tired. Days when your hurt feels heavy. Days when that old hang-up shows back up. Days when you're tempted to return to an old habit.

Keep coming back.

Keep showing up.
Keep working the principles.
Keep connecting with your sponsor and accountability team.
Keep sharing honestly.
Keep serving.
Keep praying.
And most importantly, keep allowing Jesus Christ to lead the way. ✝️

Recovery isn't about perfection. It's about progress, surrender, and taking the next right step with Jesus.

And please remember this:

❤️ You are worth it.
❤️ You matter.
❤️ Your story matters.
❤️ You are a child of God.
❤️ You don't have to do this alone.

📖 “But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded.” — 2 Chronicles 15:7 NIV

We're so glad you're part of this Forever Family community.

And if you haven't walked through the doors of Celebrate Recovery yet, maybe this is your invitation.

Come as you are.
There's a seat waiting for you.

Keep coming back. Keep working your recovery. Keep following Jesus. ❤️‍🩹
