Let's Get Real: A Recovery Story :: Kristy Bridgers :: [Episode 304]

Get ready for some real talk. This raw account of addiction and recovery is also packed with self-reflection and Scripture throughout. Join Kristy Bridgers of our Oxford community as she drills down to the truth in more ways than one.

Growing up with an alcoholic father and in a performance-based family culture, Kristy learned to function among secrets and to never ask for help. Into adulthood, with an unexpected pregnancy and stressful newlywed season, Kristy played the part, first putting out the "fires" in her life with caretaking and busy-ness—and eventually by numbing out with alcohol.

But when she got sober, Kristy gained a sober view of herself—and the unearned love of the Lord.

In this episode, you will learn:

–When all other measures of comfort fail (and they will), the Lord stands ready to comfort you.

–We are all recovering from something. Getting real with God and getting real with yourself leads to healing.

–You do not have to earn the Father's favor; you are worthy of His love.
