And the addicted, if they understand it to be a sin problem of their own hearts, god has solved that.
What if Easter could be more than just a holiday for those battling addiction? In this episode of The Addiction Connection Podcast, Dr. Mark E. Shaw, CJ McMurry, and Jim Quigley explore how Easter's themes can provide a roadmap for recovery. They dive into their book, 'EASTER: Meditations for Addicts', which is designed to draw individuals closer to Christ while navigating the challenges of addiction.
This book is part of a series that also includes 'ADVENT: Meditations for Addicts', both aimed at offering spiritual support and guidance. The episode kicks off with a reading from Chapter 4, 'I Don't Know the Man!', which reflects on Peter's denial of Jesus and how isolation and fear play into our own struggles.
The hosts pose thought-provoking questions like, 'What is your attitude toward Peter?' and 'Do you have any Proverbs 27:5-6 relationships?' These questions encourage listeners to reflect on their own lives and the role of community and confession in their recovery journey. Dr. Shaw and his co-hosts emphasize the power of living boldly and faithfully, even when faced with denial and temptation. They share personal anecdotes and scriptural insights that highlight the importance of confession and community in overcoming addiction.
One standout moment is when Dr. Shaw states, 'And the addicted, if they understand it to be a sin problem of their own hearts, God has solved that'. This perspective offers a fresh lens through which to view addiction recovery, focusing on spiritual growth and support. Listeners will find this episode both inspiring and practical, providing them with tools to navigate their own recovery journeys.
Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights into how faith and community can play pivotal roles in overcoming challenges.
