At yesterday’s Faith Walk Ministries meeting, Brother Con powerfully unpacked Step One of the recovery journey—admitting we are powerless. It may sound like weakness, but in truth, it’s where real strength begins. He spoke on the paradox of powerlessness: when we stop pretending we’re in control, we finally make space for God to step in.

Letting go of pride, ego, and self-reliance opens the door to grace. Brother Con reminded us that many of us spend years trying to fix ourselves, only to realise that true transformation comes from surrender, not struggle. Powerlessness isn’t defeat—it’s the first honest step toward healing and freedom.

Through Scripture and personal experience, he encouraged everyone to be real with God, with themselves, and with others. In our weakness, His strength is made perfect (2 Corinthians 12:9). Step One is where the journey truly begins.
