12 Steps and Discipleship with Sam Wood, pt. 2
I'm so excited to talk with Sam Wood from Hope Commons in Chico. We talk about 12 Step groups and how they relate to the discipleship we do in our churches.
Check out the Serenity group here and if you are close to Chico on a Monday night, swing by. I know they'd love to have you.
You can reach out to me at intheway.podcast@gmail.com.
The Full Serenity Prayer
God, give us grace to accept with serenity
the things that cannot be changed,
Courage to change the things
which should be changed,
and the Wisdom to distinguish
the one from the other.
Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace,
Taking, as Jesus did,
This sinful world as it is,
Not as I would have it,
Trusting that You will make all things right,
If I surrender to Your will,
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with You forever in the next.
Amen.
