Manage episode 512826173 series 3656592
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

“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.
