5/20/2026 "Practical Tools for Lasting Recovery"

Thursday, June 4, 2026

"Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil." — Ephesians 6:11

Whether you are in the deep throes of addiction, standing on the edge of a slippery slope, or fighting to prevent a relapse, recovery is never just a physical challenge—it is a spiritual battle. The enemy behaves like a roaring lion, using isolation, shame, and self-deception to keep us trapped in darkness. But God has not left us defenseless.

In this powerful live broadcast, Pastor John Alworth breaks down Ephesians 6 to give you a highly practical, step-by-step field manual for recovery. Drawing from his own journey and his work with Break Every Chain ministries, Pastor John translates the ancient Roman armor into daily, real-world tools for modern victory:

• The Belt of Truth: Breaking denial and being ruthlessly honest with your family, sponsors, and yourself.

• The Breastplate of Righteousness: Guarding your heart against the toxic lies of shame, guilt, and worthlessness.

• Feet Shod with the Gospel of Peace: Swapping the chaos of addiction for rock-solid daily routines, healthy friendships, and making amends.

• The Shield of Faith & Helmet of Salvation: Deflecting cravings and capturing destructive thoughts before they take root in your mind.

• The Sword of the Spirit: Actively deploying the Word of God to slash through the enemy's traps.

Sobriety isn’t merely about white-knuckling your way past a substance; it’s about replacing destructive habits with righteous ones and filling your life with things that strengthen the soul. Tune in to discover how you can stop running from your failures and start running to a Savior who offers absolute freedom. Because whom the Son sets free, is free indeed!
