I think everybody's right just the same way that everybody's wrong.
Religion and spirituality can be touchy subjects, especially in the context of addiction recovery. In this episode of 'Since Right Now', Jeff, Matt, and Chris tackle these topics head-on with their signature blend of humor and honesty. Ever wondered why AA emphasizes a higher power, or how spirituality differs from religion? The trio digs into these questions, sharing their personal takes and experiences along the way.
Jeff kicks things off by pointing out how the dogmatic approach of requiring a higher power in AA can be a barrier for many. The conversation then meanders through their individual journeys, questioning whether they identify with either spirituality or religion—or perhaps neither. Along the way, they find time to chuckle at the idea of a jacked, Korean Jesus, adding a lighthearted twist to a serious discussion. What sets this episode apart is its balance of humor and depth.
The hosts don't shy away from critiquing AA's spiritual program while also acknowledging its benefits, like meditation. They emphasize the importance of keeping an open mind and accepting diverse beliefs, encapsulated perfectly in Jeff's remark, 'I think everybody's right just the same way that everybody's wrong'. Whether you're grappling with these issues yourself or simply curious about how others navigate them, this episode offers a refreshing and candid perspective.
