Kenny’s workshop talk beautifully captured the heart of Step Two and Step Three in Alcoholics Anonymous — the journey from limited faith to full surrender. Through humor, humility, and vivid storytelling, he explored how closed-mindedness “fetters” the spirit and how willingness opens doors we never imagined possible. Reflecting on his early sobriety, he shared stories of disbelief, skepticism, and grace — from doubting God’s presence to praying his way up a mountain in a broken car to make his Third Step. His message centered on open-minded faith: that recovery begins not with proof but with willingness, and that surrender is the act of letting go of everything we think we know. Guided by meditation and prayer, Kenny led others through the Third Step — not as a ritual, but as a decision to begin real change through Steps Four through Nine. His story reminds all that spiritual freedom comes when we release fear, self-will, and resentment — allowing the sunlight of the Spirit to finally shine through.
