Finding Hope: Living One Day at a Time with an Eternal Perspective

An eternal perspective is going to help addicts continue to marvel at divine grace and complain less while they live now.
Ever wondered how an eternal perspective can transform the daily struggles of addiction? In this episode of 'The Addiction Connection Podcast', Dr. Mark E. Shaw sits down with Justin Lakemacher, a seasoned biblical counselor and Program Director at The Redemption House. Together, they unpack four key benefits of adopting an eternal mindset to help those battling addiction live more fulfilling lives, one day at a time.
Justin shares how focusing on the future promises of faith can provide a powerful source of hope and grounding. He explains that the Bible encourages us to seek our 'daily bread' while also setting our sights on the grace that awaits us in the afterlife. This dual focus can help addicts find solace in knowing their struggles have an end and inspire them to lean on divine grace.
They also discuss how this perspective can deepen reflection and reduce complaints, fostering a more positive outlook on life. The conversation highlights the importance of supporting addiction ministries like The Redemption House, which play a crucial role in helping individuals build meaningful relationships with God and others. Tune in to discover how an eternal perspective can be a game-changer in the journey to recovery.
