In this episode of the Return to Heart podcast, Jeff and Phil explore the psychological concept of the Window of Tolerance and how trauma, anxiety, and depression can shape our ability to stay emotionally present.

What happens when faith, addiction, and honesty collide?

In this episode of the Return to Heart Podcast, we explore the deep and often misunderstood relationship between the 12 Steps, the Church, and true discipleship. What begins with judgment turns into gratitude, humility, and transformation.

This conversation unpacks how the 12 Steps became a life jacket, not a replacement for faith—but a pathway into living it. From addiction and surrender to confession, amends, and restoration, this episode offers a powerful flyover of how healing actually happens in community.

Topics include:

• Why the 12 Steps saved lives — including pastors

• The Church, discipleship, and what was missing

• The God of your understanding

• Powerlessness, surrender, and grace

• Why healing requires structure, community, and honesty

If you’ve ever wondered how faith and recovery fit together — or felt resistance toward the 12 Steps — this conversation invites you to look again.
