In this episode of Pit to Purpose, Cody, Derek, Jamayne, and Jordan have a raw conversation on gratitude, God’s restoration, and what sobriety really means in recovery.
We open with Joel 2:25 and explore the difference between redemption and restoration—how God can rebuild what addiction broke, and how “the years the locust ate” can still turn into purpose. We also get real about carrying consequences even while healing, rebuilding trust, and repairing relationships over time.
Then we tackle a controversial question: what is sobriety? We discuss abstinence, intention, “mind-altering vs impairing,” and why switching substances can keep the same bondage alive.
If you’re navigating recovery, wrestling with faith, or looking for hope that’s actually practical—this episode is for you.
Verse: Joel 2:25 — “I will restore to you the years the locust has eaten.”
