  • Recognize Your Doubts: Be honest with yourself and God about your doubts. This authenticity paves the way for a more vibrant and resilient faith.

  • Pursue Community: Find or establish supportive communities similar to AA, where vulnerability and honesty are embraced, fostering true spiritual growth.

  • Reflect on “But God” Moments: Throughout your week, whenever faced with limitations or challenges, remind yourself of the "But God" moments that can transform your situations with divine intervention.
