The victory over sin and death and addiction has already been won. So we're missing out on that great news when we're just looking at steps and we're not looking at scripture.
Addiction can often feel like an insurmountable mountain, but what if faith could provide the strength to climb it? In this episode of 'The Addiction Connection Podcast', Dr. Mark E. Shaw sits down with Daphne Duncan, a Biblical Counselor from Summit Life Church in Southwest Florida, to discuss Step 7 of The Twelve Steps. They dive into how the Bible speaks to those struggling with addiction and examine where the Twelve Steps might fall short from a Christian perspective.
Daphne brings her unique viewpoint, emphasizing that true recovery comes from addressing the root cause of addiction, which she identifies as a 'worship disorder'. Instead of merely labeling these issues as 'character defects' or 'shortcomings', she advocates for a deeper understanding rooted in faith. The conversation touches on the dangers of behavior modification without spiritual transformation and underscores the belief that victory over addiction has already been achieved through Christ.
Whether you're battling addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers thought-provoking insights and a fresh perspective on integrating faith into the recovery journey.
