What if your relapse doesn’t disqualify you? It’s just the beginning of your rebuild.

In this soul-piercing episode of Rooted & Recovered, Dan Pyles speaks directly to the weary, the ashamed, and the ones who’ve lost count of how many “day ones” they’ve had. This isn’t a message for the perfect—it’s for the fighters who are tired of falling, but still refuse to stay down.

If you’ve ever whispered, “I thought I was past this…”
If you’ve ever walked into a room with your head low, wondering if anyone still believes in you…
If you’ve ever felt like your scars scream louder than your story…

This one’s for you.

Dan doesn’t sugarcoat it—starting over hurts. But grace wasn’t built for perfect track records. It was built for restarts. For relapses. For redemption.

Key Highlights:

• Why relapse isn’t the end—it’s a doorway to transformation
• The real emotional weight of having to start over again
• How shame tries to silence you—and why grace tells a different story
• Why you're not starting from scratch—you’re starting from scars, wisdom, and grit
• The sacred power of a comeback shaped by humility and fire
• A hard but healing truth: Jesus didn’t die so you could keep a perfect record—He died because you couldn’t.

Scriptures Covered:

• Proverbs 24:16
  “Though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again…”
• Lamentations 3:22–23
  “Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning…”
• Romans 3:23
  “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God…”
• Romans 5:6
  “You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.”

Final Truth:

You are not weak for starting over; you’re strong because you didn’t stay down. Grace doesn’t roll its eyes when you come crawling back. Heaven celebrates every comeback, every restart, every brave step back into the light. You’re not behind—you’re becoming. This isn’t your last shot. It’s your next beginning.

What if freedom isn’t the absence of struggle but the presence of a fight you refuse to lose?

In this raw and powerful episode of Rooted & Recovered, Dan Pyles unpacks what it really means to stay free after the initial breakthrough. Recovery doesn’t end the war; it just starts the training. And sometimes, the hardest battles come after you’ve already said yes to freedom.

This episode isn’t for the ones still trying to decide if they want change—it’s for the ones who already have, but still feel the pressure, the pull, and the punch of temptation that hits when you least expect it.

From middle-of-the-night urges to silent shame loops, Dan gets real about the landmines that still lurk even years into recovery—and how to fight them with truth, tools, and grace.

Whether you're one day sober or a decade in, this one is for you.

Key Highlights:

• Why temptation isn’t failure—but silence often is
• What triggers really are (and why they scream louder in secret)
• The difference between trying harder and rooting deeper
• What grace-based resistance looks like in real life
• Why success can be just as dangerous a trigger as pain
• Tools, truths, and tactics to stay grounded when old habits come knocking

Scriptures Covered:

2 Corinthians 10:5 • 1 Corinthians 10:13 • Matthew 4:1–11 (Referenced) • John 10:27 (Implied)

Final Truth:

Triggers are real—but they don’t have to rule you. You don’t need to be flawless to be faithful. And you don’t have to be perfect to keep moving forward. Every time you say no, every time you get back up, every time you choose grace over shame—you’re winning the fight to stay free.

You blew it again.

You promised it would never happen. You meant it when you said the prayers, swore the oaths, made the commitments. But somehow, here you are… face down in shame, silence, and self-hate. And now the enemy whispers:
"God’s done with you."

In this raw, vulnerable, and deeply redemptive episode, Dan gets brutally honest about a truth most of us are afraid to ask out loud:
What if God still wants to use you?
Not later. Not when you’ve cleaned up. But now—when you feel the most ruined.

This episode will challenge everything you believe about failure, purpose, and grace. Because the call of God doesn’t come with an expiration date, and your worst moment might be the setup for your greatest ministry.

Key Highlights:

• Failure isn’t the finish line—it’s the forge.
• God uses people with scars, not people without them.
• Your relapse didn’t revoke your calling—it revealed your need for grace.
• In a world full of polished testimonies, people are desperate for something real.
• If you're still breathing, you're still called.

Scriptures Covered:

• John 21:15–17 — Jesus restores Peter after betrayal: “Do you love me? Then feed my sheep.”
• Romans 11:29 — “For the gifts and the calling of God are without repentance.”
• 2 Corinthians 12:9 — “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”
• Psalm 34:18 — “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.”

Final Truth:
You don’t get to un-call what God already called.
Your story isn’t over—it’s being rewritten by grace. You might be bruised, scraped, and limping—but you’re not done.
Your scars make you safe to the suffering.
Your failures give you credibility in rooms where perfection never could.
And your yes, even if it’s trembling, is still enough.

He’s not looking for polished.
He’s not looking for perfect.
He’s looking for you.

So get up, family. Feed His sheep.
