It's not about living this life for ourselves, for every little morsel of comfort and joy and pleasure we can get. No, we need to be living this life for Jesus, and it's This Christmas Season that reminds us of that.
Picture this: the holiday season, a time of giving and reflection. In this heartwarming episode of 'The Addiction Connection Podcast', hosts Dr. Mark E. Shaw, CJ McMurry, and Jim Quigley introduce the eighth truth from their 'Be TRANSFORMED' curriculum. Rooted in Galatians 1:10 and Matthew 22:39-40, this truth encourages those struggling with addiction to live a life of service and sacrifice, much like Jesus did.
The discussion kicks off with the hosts reminding us of the true essence of Christmas - love, giving, and serving others. They delve into how applying scripture-based truths can be a powerful tool in addiction recovery. It's not just about staying sober; it's about transforming your life by embracing a spirit of service. One key takeaway from this episode is the idea that perfect love casts out fear.
The hosts explore the deep connection between loving God and loving others, emphasizing that a consumer mentality can hinder recovery. Instead, they advocate for a life dedicated to serving others, which not only honors the Lord but also brings profound personal fulfillment. Listeners are gently nudged to reflect on their own lives and consider how they can give back during the holiday season and beyond.
The conversation is filled with hope, encouragement, and practical advice on living a life of sacrifice and service. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and inspiration. So, if you're looking to deepen your understanding of addiction recovery through the lens of faith, tune in to this episode. It's a timely reminder of the power of love and service in transforming lives.
