The Lord's Supper: A Symbolic Journey in 'Easter' for Addicts

Every time we do that, we proclaim the lord's death until he comes. Is the atoning, the redemption, the salvation that came through that act.
What if the symbolism behind the Lord's Supper could offer hope and healing to those battling addiction? In this episode of The Addiction Connection Podcast, Dr. Mark E. Shaw, CJ McMurry, and Jim Quigley delve into the third chapter of their new book, 'Easter: Meditations for Addicts'. They explore the profound connections between the Lord's Supper, the blood on the doorposts from Exodus, and Jesus' crucifixion.
The hosts discuss how these biblical events are not just historical but deeply relevant to the struggles of addiction today. They emphasize the importance of understanding and internalizing these symbols to foster a closer relationship with Christ. Shirley Crowder, an award-winning author and Vice President of The Addiction Connection, also joins the discussion, sharing her passion for disciple-making and biblical counseling. The episode touches on the hymn 'Deeper and Deeper' by Oswald J. Smith, highlighting its role in spiritual reflection.
If you're looking for ways to connect your faith with your recovery journey, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice.
