Principle 4
Lesson 7
Tonight we talk about something that can truly change a life—sponsorship.
In Celebrate Recovery, a sponsor isn’t a counselor or someone who has it all figured out. A sponsor is someone who has walked the road ahead of you, found freedom through Christ, and is willing to walk beside you as you take your next steps.
What makes a good sponsor?
Someone who has worked through the steps
Someone of the same gender
Someone who listens more than they speak
Someone who points you back to Jesus, not themselves
What sponsorship is NOT:
Not control
Not dependency
Not perfection
It’s about relationship, trust, and growth.
Galatians 6:2 reminds us: “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”
If you’re in recovery and don’t have a sponsor yet—pray about it. Take that step. It might feel uncomfortable, but it could be the very thing God uses to bring breakthrough.
And if you’ve been walking this road for a while… maybe it’s time to become a sponsor for someone else.
Recovery was never meant to be done alone.
