What people are saying about the workbook
“I don't even know where to begin. I deeply appreciate the efforts of the author and everyone who has worked with him in his ministry and on this publication..”
— Jimmy
“I love how the lessons in the book encourage the reader to identify harmful behaviors and to be honest about them. But instead of wallowing in regret, the reader is led to Christ and forgiven. It uses Jesus' love to change behavior.”
— Dan
“[Resilient] has been a huge blessing to our church. It's rock solid on law and gospel and points to Christ as our true hope for recovery and a life of not just surviving but thriving. The RESILIENT acronym is just awesome--truthful and Christ-centered.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Click below for the answers to common questions
What is Resilient?↓
Resilient Recovery is a Bible study on addiction, perfect for people who want non-judgmental support. We make it easy to get help because we remember how hard it was to reach out for help the first [or the 20th] time. We will make you feel comfortable because we've been where you are now.
Our program works because it is built on historical Christian practices that promote change. We get help from scripture and the Holy Spirit. And our program is informed by the latest science on recovery.
Is this a 12 step meeting?↓
No. We don't use the 12 Steps.
We can only be good at one thing. Our one thing is to share what God's Word says about addiction. We don't provide treatment and we don't teach a system for sobriety.
That makes us different—and that’s our strength. We simply open God’s Word, read it together, and let Him do the work.
We don't ask people to stop attending a 12 step program. Those who want to make a full recovery may want to attend more than one kind of group just like a person wanting to get fit may do more than one kind of exercise.
You can't pray away an addiction, right?↓
That's true. You can think of what we do like a visit to chaplain.
Chaplains work in hospitals, militaries, and fire departments. But they are not doctors, soldiers, or fire fighters.
A chaplain provides spiritual support and guidance to people in difficult situations--and recovery can be a place where we need a little Christian support and guidance.
Are you Chaplains?↓
No. Our founding director is a WELS lay Chaplain. But, most of our group leaders are just regualr Christians with a desire and calling to help you see how God's word applies to your recovery.
Is Resilient Anonymous and Confidential?↓
Yes. We protect eachother from gossip and speculation by refusing to share details from our meetings including who attended or what they said in the meeting. This is a safe place to share and seek support.
Of course, no peer support group can guarantee each person's behavior. Also, we use a secure Zoom meeting platform, but we can't guarantee it's security either.
But in our years of experience with Resilient, we have yet to learn about someone violating the group's guidelines in a way that would expose someone's presence or the reason they came.
What if I am not Christian?↓
We welcome anyone of any faith. We are Christian--and you'll see Bible verses and hear prayers--but, people with traditional native practices, agnositics, and people of other faiths have all attended Resilient Recovery and found we welcome them and their opinions.
What if I am still struggling?↓
You don't need to be clean and sober to join and be welcome.
