How the 12 Steps Can Transform Anyone's Life | Ian Cron & John Ortberg

Ian Cron and John Ortberg unpack how the 12 Steps Can Transform Anyone's Life, not just those experiencing addiction. Ian Cron's "The Fix" and John Ortberg's "STEPS" were inspired by the life-transforming power that AA's Twelve Step model possesses. Millions of lives have been transformed by this proven framework, but it's little known that this program was actually born out of the church and inspired by a life spent following Jesus.
