The Power of Submission: Transforming Lives in Addiction Recovery

Submission really is a willful act. You have to sub, get under the mission of another person. In this case, we're talking about submitting to God and his purpose, and that's an act of faith.
What does submission have to do with addiction recovery? In this eye-opening episode of 'The Addiction Connection Podcast', hosts Dr. Mark E. Shaw, CJ McMurry, and Jim Quigley tackle this very question. Drawing from the Next Steps: Be TRANSFORMED curriculum, they explore the eleventh truth, focusing on the importance of submission, as highlighted in James 4:7 and Ephesians 5:21. This isn't about blind obedience but about understanding the role of submission in personal growth and spiritual development.
The hosts emphasize that submission to human authorities is a deliberate act of faith, trusting that these authorities are part of God's plan to help individuals grow in holiness. This episode goes beyond mere theory, offering practical advice for addicts on how to incorporate submission into their daily lives.
The discussion also delves into the broader concepts of authority and faith in addiction recovery, shedding light on how these elements can pave the way for a more fulfilling and sober life. Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode provides valuable insights into the transformative power of submission.
