BEFORE WE BEGIN

The 12 Steps of AA have helped millions find freedom, healing, and sobriety. But many Christians struggle to fully connect the process to their faith or understand how the Steps align with Scripture.

Stepping Into Power approaches each step through a Christ-centered lens—grounding recovery in biblical truth, identity in Christ, and God’s transforming power.

While the 12 Steps are often associated with substance abuse, the principles explored in Stepping Into Power apply to many forms of addiction and destructive patterns—including gambling, self-harm, and other behaviors rooted in loss of control.

Stepping Into Power is designed for:

Individuals exploring recovery or spiritual growth
People new to the 12 Steps seeking clarity and context
Those actively working the Steps who want deeper insight
Friends and family members wanting understanding
Churches and recovery leaders looking for accessible teaching

This isn’t about replacing the 12 Steps. It’s about helping believers integrate recovery with their walk with Christ.

Stepping Into Power is not a treatment program—it’s a practical guide to help you understand and work the Steps through a biblical lens. Legal Disclaimer

INTRODUCTION

A 12-Step Journey, One Step at a Time

This short introduction provides an overview of the 12 Steps of AA, the spiritual principles behind them, and why a biblical lens brings deeper clarity to recovery. It also explains how the 12 Steps are explored through Scripture as defined in The Dunamis Effect.

Think of this as the foundation before we step into Step 1.
