| 10/21/24 | ![]() Reckless Grace with Pastor Bill Vanderbush (Episode 149) | Reckless Grace with Pastor Bill Vanderbush (Episode 149) In this episode of Genuine Life Recovery, I'm joined by Bill Vanderbush, pastor and author of Reckless Grace; the Gift. The Mystery. The Embrace., to discuss the radical impact of grace and forgiveness in the journey of mental health and recovery. True recovery isn’t just about overcoming addiction or trauma, but finding our true identity in Christ. As Jesus restores God’s image in us, we begin to live authentically, free from shame, guilt, and the masks we once wore. We also talk forgiveness and how it plays a central role in our restoration. Whether it’s forgiving others or forgiving ourselves, the power of grace transforms our recovery journey. Bill explains that we cannot forgive or heal in our own strength; it’s through surrender to God's 'reckless grace' that we find lasting healing. Learn how grace allows us to release resentment—a root cause of relapse—and experience the freedom that comes from letting go of the need for earthly justice. This episode is a powerful reminder that grace, identity, and forgiveness are essential to living a life of recovery, mental health, and peace. | 1h 13m 47s | ||||||
