9/23/2026 "Finding Freedom in the 12 Steps (Part 2)"

Wednesday, September 30, 2026

On this episode of Recovery Through Christ, Pastor Jon Alworth continues his in-depth look at how the 12-Step recovery model is rooted in biblical scripture and Christian principles. Discussing why addiction is the world's longest-running pandemic—affecting millions of lives across Southeast Texas and beyond—Pastor Alworth emphasizes that true freedom and permanent deliverance are found by placing Jesus Christ at the center of recovery.

In this episode, Pastor Alworth breaks down the foundational steps that break the cycle of secret shame and guilt:

  • Recap of Steps 1–3: Honesty, Hope, and Faith—admitting our powerlessness without Christ and surrendering our lives to Him.
  • Step 4 (Courage): Making a searching and fearless moral inventory. Taking an "ego buster" look at pride, resentments, anger, and fear, and asking God to reveal what needs to be confessed, repented of, and forsaken (Lamentations 3:40).
  • Step 5 (Integrity): Confessing the exact nature of our wrongs to God, ourselves, and another Christian believer—bringing secrets into the light to experience genuine healing and freedom (James 5:16, 1 John 1:9).

Wednesday, September 30, 2026

On this episode of Recovery Through Christ, Pastor Jon Alworth dives into the biblical foundation of the 12-Step recovery process. Unpacking how the original 12 Steps originated from Christian principles and the Oxford Group, Pastor Alworth explains why true, lasting freedom from addiction—and all forms of bondage—comes from placing Jesus Christ squarely in the middle of recovery.
Pastor Alworth breaks down the first three essential steps:

  • Step 1 (Honesty): Moving past denial, overcoming pride, and recognizing our powerlessness without Christ (Romans 6:16, 7:18).
  • Step 2 (Hope): Believing that through Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit, complete restoration is possible (Romans 8:2).
  • Step 3 (Faith): Making the decision to surrender our lives fully to Christ without reservation.

Whether you or a loved one is struggling with addiction, anxiety, pride, or grief, this episode offers practical biblical truth and the hope of healing in Jesus' name.

9/2/2026 "Breaking the Chains of Denial"

Saturday, September 5, 2026

In this episode of Recovery Through Christ, Pastor John Alworth breaks down one of the single greatest barriers to freedom and healing: denial. Grounded in scripture—including Lamentations 5:21 and John 8:32—Pastor Alworth explores how self-deception, rationalization, and external blaming keep individuals trapped in cycles of addiction, pride, anger, and emotional bondage.

Drawing on both clinical insights and personal experience, Pastor Alworth outlines the four stages of denial (Unawareness, Resistance, Admission, and Acceptance) and emphasizes that true, lasting recovery begins with rigorous honesty before God and oneself. Whether dealing with substance abuse, trauma, or destructive habits, listeners are invited to step out of darkness and embrace the new identity and purpose God has designed for them.

Key Topics & Highlights

Friday, July 31, 2026

7/15/2026 "From Secret Bondage to Supernatural Peace"

Wednesday, July 15, 2026

"Overcomers are not born; they are forged through surrender."

In this powerful episode of Recovery Through Christ, Pastor Jon Alworth sits down for an intimate, eye-opening conversation with a man who has spent the last two years running the soundboards behind the scenes: his own show producer, Steven Kay.

For decades, Steven lived a highly successful public life in Christian radio—while privately harboring a dark, heavy secret. Moving away from the label of "addict" and exposing the subtle traps of a "drug abuser," Steven opens up about:

  • The Power of Choice: How the enemy uses subtle whispers and toxic relationships to lure us back into old, destructive patterns.

  • The Trap of the Double Life: The exhausting reality of hiding behind hypocrisy and the shame that keeps so many from seeking help.

  • The Difference Between Sobriety and Deliverance: How Steven transitioned from simply "choosing not to sin" to experiencing the true, supernatural peace of Christ that removes the desire altogether.

Tune in to hear a raw, honest testimony of how God never stops chasing us down, proving that no matter how deep into the darkness we run, His grace is always fast enough to catch us.

Tuesday, July 14, 2026

What happens when true deliverance replaces the miserable struggle of "white-knuckling" your way through life? In this episode of Recovery Through Christ, Pastor John Alworth sits down with his close friend and ministry partner, Pastor John Hammond of Hope for All in Jesus Prison Ministry.

Celebrating an incredible 44 years of taking the Gospel behind bars, Pastor Hammond shares jaw-dropping testimonies of how God is moving in Texas prisons.

The two pastors dive deep into the real-world impact of faith-based rehabilitation. They discuss how a genuine relationship with Jesus completely transforms a person's community, lowering the historical 90% recidivism rate down to 43% by giving former inmates a built-in family of believers. Whether you are looking to break your own chains of addiction, seeking a Christian approach to legal counsel, or feeling called to volunteer your time to step into the darkness and bring others into His marvelous light—this episode is an urgent reminder that true abundance is found in Kingdom work.

6/10/2026 "Recognizing Supernatural Opportunities in the Everyday (Part 2)"

Friday, June 19, 2026

In this episode of Recovery Through Christ, Pastor John Alworth shares how a personal relationship with Jesus is the ultimate foundation for healing, restoration, and breaking free from the cycles of addiction and shame. Reflecting on his own story of deliverance and living resurrection, Pastor Alworth explains how God consistently places supernatural interventions, people, and circumstances in our paths to get our attention—even when we aren't looking.

The discussion moves into what scripture reveals about supernatural events as the end times approach, offering a warning against growing global deceptions, fake news, and counterfeit miracles. Pastor Alworth emphasizes the vital role of the Holy Spirit in developing spiritual vision and discernment, reminding believers to test everything against the Word of God.

6/3/2026 "Recognizing Supernatural Opportunities in the Everyday (Part 1)"

Thursday, June 4, 2026

"For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them." — Ephesians 2:10

Most people spend their entire lives waiting for a booming voice from heaven, a dramatic Damascus Road encounter, or a spectacular, earth-shaking miracle to prove God is real. But what if God is trying to get your attention right now through the ordinary, chaotic, or even painful circumstances of your life?

In this incredibly transparent episode of Recovery Through Christ, Pastor John Alworth shares what it looks like to tune your spiritual vision to recognize supernatural opportunities. Reflecting on his own past, Pastor John opens up about hitting rock bottom: battling severe health issues, drowning in debt to the IRS, facing isolation, and losing his family. Yet, it was precisely in that cornered moment that God supernaturally intervened through a single, unexpected phone call that changed the trajectory of his life forever.

Highlights From This Episode:

  • The Living Miracle of Transformation: Why a person walking off the streets, surrendering a decade-long addiction, and gaining a clear mind is the greatest modern-day miracle you will ever see.

  • The Holy Spirit Nudge: Understanding our role as Christ's ambassadors and co-workers (2 Corinthians 5-6), and how the gift of the Holy Spirit actively guides us through ordinary choices.

  • Problems vs. Opportunities: How a massive giant like Goliath looked like a death sentence to an army, but a supernatural promotion to a shepherd boy named David.

  • God’s Multi-Faceted Healing: A powerful look at the different ways God answers prayer—whether through instant divine deliverance, the miracle of medical science, or ultimate eternal healing.

Your current struggle—whether it’s addiction, a fractured marriage, or a financial storm—is not an accident. God hasn't abandoned you; He is inviting you to step onto the water. Stop looking for the spectacular and start looking for the supernatural in your everyday routine.

5/27/2026 "True Transformation Through Surrender"

Thursday, June 4, 2026

"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.'" — John 14:6

In secular circles, anyone starting recovery is given a foundational piece of advice: you have to change your people, places, and things. But how do you actually do that when the temptations of the world are waiting on every street corner?

In this episode of Recovery Through Christ, Pastor John Alworth calls in from home to share a powerful truth: true, faith-based recovery isn't just about behavior modification—it perfectly mirrors our daily walk with Christ. Long before believers were ever called "Christians," the early church in the Book of Acts was simply known as The Way.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

  • The Shortcut Fallacy: Why the enemy offers artificial peace and instant gratification that ultimately leads to slavery (John 8:34), while Christ leads us on a life-giving journey.

  • Why "Trying Harder" Fails: The biological and spiritual reasons why willpower alone isn't enough to rewire the brain, and why Jesus asks us to abide, not just white-knuckle our way through.

  • Overcoming the Stumble: A compassionate look at slips and relapses. If a child stumbles while learning to walk, a loving parent lifts them back up—and God does the exact same for you.

  • The Power of the Pack: Why isolation is the enemy's greatest weapon, and how finding a Bible-based recovery community acts as a "hospital for the wounded."

Whether your struggle is with alcohol, drugs, pride, or trauma, you do not have to walk this narrow path alone. Turn your back on the wide road to destruction, embrace the ultimate victory of total surrender, and let God order your steps toward a brand-new identity.
