The only power that I actually had all my life, the only real power that I have ever known in my life before AA, was the power of drugs and alcohol.
Can science and faith coexist on the path to recovery? In this thought-provoking episode of the Big Book Awakening podcast, Oliver takes listeners through Chapter 4 of 'We Agnostics' from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. Reading from pages 48-49, Oliver examines the tension between scientific understanding and spiritual belief. He explores the idea that, while we trust the laws of physics without question, we often resist the notion of a higher power guiding our lives.
Through personal stories and reflections, Oliver and his guests discuss their own experiences with faith, surrender, and the search for peace in sobriety. This episode is a deep dive into how embracing spirituality can complement scientific reasoning, offering a balanced perspective that can resonate with anyone on the journey to recovery.
