Many people in overeating and emotional eating recovery believe they aren’t “far enough along” to help someone else. In this episode of the Reshape and Recover Podcast, Julie and Tony Kleinhans unpack Step 12 and explain why sharing your story isn’t about perfection—it’s about willingness.

You’ll learn how carrying the message of recovery actually strengthens your own recovery, deepens spiritual growth, and keeps you connected to freedom from food obsession. Drawing from the 12 Steps, biblical truth, and real-life experience, this episode explores how God uses imperfect stories to bring hope, healing, and transformation.

In this episode, we discuss:

• What Step 12 really means in Christian recovery

• Why a spiritual awakening often looks like peace, clarity, and progress—not perfection

• How sharing your story protects your own recovery

• Practical, everyday ways to carry the message without being preachy

• How God uses your testimony—no matter how simple—to encourage others

Near the end of the episode, you’ll hear a spontaneous moment of community as one of our members joins the conversation — a simple but powerful picture of Step 12 in action.

If you’re recovering from compulsive overeating, emotional eating, or food addiction—and wondering if your story matters—this episode will remind you that someone needs the hope God has placed in you.
