Caller Questions & Discussion: Chris confesses that he’s not a good confessor and shares how shame and fear made it difficult to talk openly during his early recovery. He also explains the 3 C’s of confession, referencing 1 John 1:9 and James 5:16. We do the 12 Steps one at a time. For instance, we don’t advance to Step 5 until we’ve completed Step 4. Can you explain more about that? I use the acronym O.A.R. to help me become safer in relationships and work through ruptures in relationships. I had difficulty with an elder who is a teacher at my church and prayed for him to teach the truth. He then had to step down after church leaders learned he doesn’t believe in the Trinity. Should I still try to reconcile with him?
