Episode 69 - STEP EIGHT | Owning the Damage I’ve Done + Original Song "The Bubbleator"
In this episode, we step into one of the most challenging and freeing moments of recovery: learning to own the damage we’ve caused. For many pastors, it’s easier to talk about what happened to us than to look honestly at what has happened through us. Step Eight calls us to step out of our self-protective bubble, stop justifying our patterns, and let God show us the people we’ve hurt along the way. We talk about:
• How pride and unconfessed sin build a “Bubblelator” around our hearts
• Why Step Four is necessary before Step Eight
• How patterns form—and why we can’t heal what we keep defending
• What David teaches us when he finally said, “I have sinned against the Lord”
• Two stories of pastors who discovered freedom by seeing the truth
• Why this step is not about shame, but about clarity and healing
This episode is an invitation to step into the light, experience the grace of honesty, and allow the Holy Spirit to lead you toward real amends, real healing, and real change.
