The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.
Have you ever wondered how different perspectives shape our understanding of addiction? In this episode of 'The Addiction Connection Podcast', Dr. Mark E. Shaw and Jim Quigley dive into the complex world of drug education and stigma, offering a unique biblical perspective. They kick things off by contrasting human wisdom with Spirit wisdom, referencing 1 Corinthians 2:13 to set the stage for a deeper conversation.
Jim, who leads Freedom Farm Ministries, shares his insights on how society's view of addiction often clashes with biblical teachings. The episode challenges the common belief that biology is the root cause of addiction, suggesting instead that true freedom comes from spiritual understanding. Dr. Shaw and Jim also tackle the 'victim mentality' promoted by many programs and emphasize the dangers of self-help approaches that don't align with Gospel truths.
This episode is a thought-provoking journey into understanding addiction beyond conventional wisdom, making it a must-listen for anyone seeking a faith-based approach to recovery.
