A Biblical Critique of the 12 Steps: An Introduction

But what they say about themselves is that they are spiritual. I just want to make sure the listeners that you know that about the steps before we get into each one of these podcasts, because we're going to, over The Next Days, have a special guest Each Day biblically critique the steps, and each one will have their own step and we'll go in order from through, and so you'll hear one of my special guests critiquing step and talking about it and how it lines up with scripture in a good way and in a bad way.
Ever wondered how the 12-step program stacks up against biblical teachings? In this episode of 'The Addiction Connection Podcast', Dr. Mark E. Shaw, the founder of The Addiction Connection, takes a deep dive into this very question. He kicks off a series that critically examines each of the 12 steps through a biblical lens. Dr.
Shaw doesn't shy away from discussing some controversial points, such as the risk of the 12 steps replacing Christian faith, the concept of addiction as a disease, and the issue of idolatry. This isn't just a one-man show; Dr. Shaw also teases future episodes featuring guest speakers who will further dissect each step. If you're curious about how faith and recovery intersect, this episode offers a thought-provoking perspective that might just change the way you view the 12-step program.
