Plan Your Day

There’s a secret in recovery we rarely talk about: identifying your hangups is what separates surviving from thriving. Every hangup starts with a hurt, an emotion, and a false story we come to believe—but once we see the pattern, we can take those lies captive and replace them with truth. This is the path from reaction to real freedom.

Our relationships have the power to heal us or to keep us stuck. This workshop is about understanding the cycles we fall into, why we pursue or withdraw when things get hard, and how to move toward the kind of honest, vulnerable connection that actually leads to healing. Drawing on Scripture and relational research, you'll walk away with a clearer picture of what's happening beneath the surface in your relationships and practical tools for building something healthier, one honest conversation at a time.

There's a reason Revelation 2 talks about losing your first love. The spark in recovery is real, and it can fade. This workshop is about keeping it alive. We'll look honestly at why leaders and participants start to drift, what the warning signs look like, and what it takes to stay intentional in both your personal recovery and your ministry. When you stay connected to Jesus, the spark doesn't have to go out. It can grow into something steady and lasting that fuels both your life and the people you serve.

Many Celebrate Recovery leaders want to support those struggling with mental health but aren't always sure where to start. This workshop will briefly explore the purpose and value of a Mental Health Champion, practical steps for developing a healthy mental health culture, and ways to equip your team to respond with confidence and compassion. After a short panel discussion, participants will have the opportunity to engage with the panel of experienced leaders during an extended Q&A session.

Students are dealing with real pain, and they need a real place to process it. The Landing is Celebrate Recovery for junior high and high school students, and this workshop is your guide to starting or strengthening a CRS ministry at your church. We'll walk through the DNA of the program, different ways it can be expressed, how to lead small groups well, and how to teach in a way that connects with students where they actually are. If you're ready to invest in the next generation before the patterns get harder to break, this workshop is a great place to start.

Celebrate Recovery has partnered with the American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC) to launch something brand new: a Mental Health Coach Certification with a Celebrate Recovery emphasis. This 42-hour, on-demand, video-based training was built for church leaders, wellness professionals, and anyone who regularly walks alongside people in pain. It's not a replacement for CR leadership training. It's an optional next step for those who want to go deeper, learn to recognize what's really going on beneath the surface, and respond with more wisdom, compassion, and biblical grounding.

The message of Celebrate Recovery is crossing borders and taking root in ways that are nothing short of miraculous. This workshop gathers voices from CR ministries across Latin America and Hispanic communities in the United States, including leaders from Mexico, Argentina, Guatemala, Colombia, and beyond. Come hear what God is doing, learn about resources available for Spanish-speaking ministries, and find out how to connect with a community of leaders who are carrying this message into their cultures with passion and faith.

Kids carry real hurt too, and Celebration Place exists to meet them right where they are. This Christ-centered program for elementary-aged children is built to work alongside Celebrate Recovery so that whole families can find healing together. This workshop introduces the newly updated curriculum, walks through what changed and why, and gives you the tools to run it well no matter the size or shape of your group. If you're serving kids in your CR ministry, or you want to start, this one is worth your time.

Bringing a CR conference to your area is more achievable than you might think, especially when you have the global team behind you. This workshop walks you through what it looks like to come alongside the Celebrate Recovery Global Team to host an event in your region. We'll cover what the global team looks for in a host church, how the partnership works, and what you can expect through the process. If you've ever wondered whether your church could host one of these events, come find out what it takes and how to get started.

No one was meant to recover alone, and no one was meant to lead alone either. This workshop takes a hard look at the role of sponsors and accountability partners in CR, not just as tools for healing but as the backbone of a healthy ministry culture. We'll dig into what a sponsor actually commits to, what a sponsee brings to the relationship, and how the Paul/Barnabas/Timothy model gives us a picture of what this looks like at every stage of the journey. You need a Paul above you, a Barnabas beside you, and a Timothy you're pouring into. If you've been flying solo, this workshop will show you what you're missing and how to change it.
