The Cost of Unwanted Behaviors: A Journey to Redemption

Jesus took all of that wrath upon himself. On that cross, he paid for it all. So my bill is clean, my slate is clean, but I did so much.
Ever wondered how unwanted behaviors can accumulate like interest on a debt? This episode of 'Relational Recovery' titled 'Accumulated Interest' takes a deep dive into the science of behavior change, wrapped in the comforting embrace of Christian spirituality and psychology. Hosted by The Refuge Ministry, with over two decades of experience, this episode is a treasure trove for anyone grappling with addiction or looking to support a loved one on their recovery journey.
The episode kicks off with a Bible meditation from the book of Revelation, where the hosts unravel the vivid symbolism of locusts and horses. They link these images to the concept of sin as debt, illustrating how refusing to turn away from our wrongdoings can lead to accumulating more 'punishment'. It's a thought-provoking take that encourages listeners to reflect on their own lives and the importance of repentance and forgiveness.
The hosts also delve into the transformative power of baptism, portraying it as a symbol of new life and renewal. They emphasize the significance of remembering one's values, which can serve as a guiding light during turbulent times. To wrap things up, they share a Proverb about the consequences of slandering someone to their employer, reminding us all about the weight our words can carry.
With a blend of real-life stories and Biblical insights, this episode offers a compassionate guide to understanding and overcoming unwanted behaviors. Whether you're at the beginning of your recovery journey or well along the path, you'll find this episode both informative and uplifting. Tune in for an experience that promises to leave you feeling encouraged and motivated.
