Discipleship is not just sharing and teaching bible verses, but relationally-driven training and coaching that occurs gradually through life on life situations.
Imagine finding hope and purpose in the midst of addiction. In this episode of 'The Addiction Connection Podcast', Dr. Mark E. Shaw sits down with his longtime friend, Yogi Taylor, to explore how faith and discipleship can transform lives. Yogi, hailing from Mississippi, shares his life verse from Acts 20:24 and discusses the profound impact of living a Christ-centered life.
But it's not just about scripture; Yogi's approach is deeply relational, focusing on life-on-life coaching and training that goes beyond mere words. Yogi emphasizes the importance of prayer, not just as a solitary act but as a shared experience. He believes in praying with the men he mentors, modeling a life of faith and commitment. This episode dives into how building genuine relationships can create strong bonds and foster confidence among those in recovery.
Yogi's unique method involves discovering what the men enjoy and are gifted at, helping them see God's plan in their talents and interests. Dr. Shaw and Yogi also touch on the crucial role of the local church in addiction recovery. They discuss how the church community can provide a supportive environment where men can recognize their strengths and contribute their gifts.
Yogi's story is one of hope, faith, and transformation, offering a beacon for anyone struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is. With nearly 18 years of marriage and four children, Yogi's personal journey adds depth to his professional insights. His story is a testament to the power of faith and community in overcoming addiction. Tune in to hear how you can apply these principles in your own life or support someone on their recovery journey.
