The Voyager's Take on Evangelism and Modern Language in AA

When we're talking about a restatement of these spiritual principles in modern language, it should be in a way that every woman should be able to easily communicate it to another woman and not have to explain what they meant in a historical context.
Ever wondered how the language we use impacts recovery? In this episode of 'That's NOT in the book!', Agent X sits down with The Voyager for a compelling chat about the role of evangelism in Alcoholics Anonymous. They dive into how modern language can make the principles of recovery more accessible, especially for women.
The Voyager shares her experiences of explaining the emotional devastation of alcoholism in a way that resonates deeply with women, emphasizing that recovery principles shouldn't be bogged down by historical context. Instead, she argues, they should be communicated in a way that's relatable and easily understood today. The discussion also touches on the limitations of sticking to historical language and how updating our vocabulary can help spread the message of recovery more effectively.
If you're curious about how to make the principles of AA more inclusive and relatable, this episode is a must-listen.
