We don't need to teach the message of the steps. We need to be radically intimately related to our loving savior, who gave his life for us.
What happens when you look at the 12 steps through the lens of faith? In this episode of 'The Addiction Connection Podcast', Tim Brown, a former addict, joins the hosts to share his Christian critique of the 12-step program. With a background of personal experience, Brown dives into how biblical teachings, especially the principle of obedience to God, can provide a stronger foundation for maintaining sobriety.
This isn't just a conversation about recovery; it's an exploration of the spiritual dimensions that often go unspoken. The episode questions the idea of having a 'god of one's own understanding', delving into its potential roots in polytheism, and contrasts this with the Christian belief in one God. The hosts and Brown engage in a candid discussion about the role of faith in overcoming addiction, offering listeners fresh insights and challenging conventional wisdom.
If you're curious about how spirituality can intersect with recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
