Learning to wait patiently is a vital part of this healing process. In time, we will see things clearly, plainly, and distinctly. You see, recovery is a time of facing problems, a time of correction and changing incorrect beliefs. Do you know anybody whose lives are trouble-free? I think not.
Hope can be a lifeline when you're battling addiction, and that's exactly what Terry Hanna dives into in this episode of 'Christians with Secret Addictions'. Terry, a Christian with over two decades of recovery experience, isn't your typical host—he's not a pastor or therapist, but someone who's walked the tough path himself.
In 'Gifts of the 12 Steps (#1 Hope)', Terry reflects on a recent church service led by Pastor Ron Igalito, where the focus was on confronting hidden struggles and seeking healing through faith and community support. Drawing from Romans 5:3-5, he unpacks how hope can transform lives by enduring trials and fostering patience. Terry emphasizes that shared pain can lead to compassion and ultimately, hope.
This episode is a heartfelt call to embrace hope as a powerful tool for personal growth and healing. If you're on a recovery journey or supporting someone who is, Terry's insights offer valuable guidance and encouragement.
