The relationship for orthodox in recovery with spiritual father and mother is in its own way more important, because it is the spiritual father who is supposed to oversee and guard and protect and correct a person from the tendency to be involved in all sorts of practices which are fundamentally philosophical and even include false meditation.
Have you ever wondered how spiritual guidance can play a role in addiction recovery? In this episode of 'Healing Addictions', Fr. Christophe Lepoutre dives deep into the transformative power of having a Spiritual Father or Confessor. He explains how these figures are essential in the journey of overcoming addiction, especially within the Orthodox faith. Fr. Christophe sheds light on the importance of purification and the Holy Spirit's role in helping individuals confront their sins.
While having a sponsor or fellow traveler is vital for everyone, Orthodox believers find even deeper support through their relationship with a spiritual father. This episode covers how these spiritual guides oversee, protect, and correct individuals, steering them away from harmful practices like false meditation. Fr. Christophe also touches on the challenges of maintaining obedience and the spiritual father/confessor relationship. The episode wraps up with a heartfelt message about the significance of love and humility in achieving inner peace.
