Having walled myself off from god, I had actually walled myself in to an isolation and total loss of wonder. I should have been using this crutch all along instead of those other crutches. This one is much better than the crutches of tv and beer and sex and celebrities and constantly seeking approval of others.
Ever felt like you're stumbling through life, unsure of what to believe? In this episode of 'Why Did Peter Sink?', Peter Flies opens up about his personal journey from skepticism to spirituality. He didn't become a believer overnight. Instead, he embarked on a quest to ask, seek, and knock on the door of understanding. Through this process, he began to chip away at his doubts and embrace a more profound faith.
Peter shares how he stopped nit-picking the Old Testament and started focusing on the broader, more meaningful messages in the New Testament. This shift in perspective was inspired by Chapter 4 of the AA Big Book, which resonated deeply with his own experiences of cynicism and spiritual exploration. Peter also delves into the fascinating interplay between science and faith, discussing how the two can coexist beautifully.
He touches on the Catholic Church's views on science and the universe's origins, offering a balanced perspective that might surprise you. One of the most compelling parts of Peter's story is his reflection on the dangers of isolation and relying on worldly crutches. He emphasizes the joy and community found in practices like communion and how saying 'yes' to God's existence helped him break down personal barriers.
If you're looking for an inspiring tale of overcoming doubt and finding spiritual solace, this episode is a must-listen. Peter's candid reflections provide a hopeful and encouraging roadmap for anyone grappling with their own faith journey.
