Is fear of Step Four holding you back from the freedom you crave?

You’re not alone — and it’s not as scary as it sounds.

In this episode of the Reshape and Recover Podcast, Julie and Tony dive into one of the most misunderstood (and most powerful) parts of the recovery journey: Step Four is where we do a fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

This step is often avoided because it requires honesty — about our hurts, habits, and history. But here’s the truth: Step Four isn’t about shame — it’s about surrender. And real healing begins here.

You’ll hear how Julie and Tony have walked this step themselves — and how they guide others through it with biblical wisdom, grace, and gentle truth.

✨ What you'll take away from this episode:

• Why resentment is the #1 barrier to emotional and spiritual freedom

• How to face your past without getting stuck in guilt

• The difference between character defects and your God-given identity

• What the Bible says about honest self-examination — and why it’s safe with God

• How Step Four leads to peace, not punishment

• Encouragement from Scripture and lived experience

📖 “Search me, O God, and know my heart…” (Psalm 139:23–24)

Whether you're brand new to recovery or need a spiritual reset, this episode will give you hope, direction, and courage for the next step.
