Have you ever stood in front of the mirror and couldn’t face what was looking back?

In this raw and real episode of Rooted & Recovered, Dan and Justin dive into Step Four of the 12-Step Program: “Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.” This is the step that many people want to skip—but it’s also where true healing begins.

Together, they confront the painful but powerful truth: freedom is often hiding behind the very thing you refuse to face. From their own stories of brokenness to the woman at the well in John 4, they show how Jesus doesn’t turn away from our mess—He meets us there and invites us into healing.

What You’ll Hear:

• Denial, defensiveness, and distraction will keep you stuck
• Lamentations 3:40 calls us to examine our ways and return to the Lord
• True healing begins with bold honesty: Psalm 139:23–24
• You are not guilty of what others did to you—but you can surrender the pain
• Jesus knows every secret—and still stays

Key Scriptures:
Lamentations 3:40, Psalm 139:23–24, John 4 (Woman at the Well), Revelation 3:20,

Final Key Thought:
God can’t heal the version of you that you're pretending to be. He heals the one you're willing to bring to Him.

Your scars don’t scare Jesus—they invite Him in.
