Whoever hates disguises himself with his lips and harbors deceit in his heart; 25 when he speaks graciously, believe him not, for there are seven abominations in his.
How do we talk about addiction without making those who struggle feel even more isolated? In this episode of 'The Addiction Connection Podcast', Jim Quigley and Dr. Mark E. Shaw dive deep into the complex world of drug education and the persistent stigma that surrounds addiction. Jim, a dedicated counselor at Freedom Farm Ministries, brings his hands-on experience to the table, while Dr. Shaw offers his seasoned perspective on biblical counseling.
Together, they explore the importance of language in drug education and how certain terms can either help or hinder someone's recovery journey. They don't shy away from tough topics like manipulation in counseling and the deceptive nature of addiction. Drawing inspiration from biblical stories, they discuss the humbling lessons we can learn from figures like Peter and how these lessons apply to modern-day recovery. This episode isn't just about theories; it's about real-life applications. Jim and Dr.
Shaw emphasize the role of humility in recovery and how recognizing our own flaws can lead to genuine healing. They also tackle the question of whether Christians are inherently self-loathing due to their awareness of sin, offering a nuanced view that balances accountability with compassion. Whether you're in recovery yourself, supporting a loved one, or simply interested in the intersection of faith and addiction, this episode offers valuable insights that are both practical and deeply empathetic.
Tune in to understand how we can break down the barriers of stigma and offer more effective support to those in need.
