I praise you, dear God, that I'm counted as innocent and though I'm a sinner and unworthy, I praise you that Christ's righteousness gives me the right to speak of him, to affirm that he has been merciful to me, to witness to him to encourage someone else and to go forward and be brave on your behalf.
Ever felt like shutting down when life gets tough? Colin Cook gets it. In this episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook', he dives into how faith-training in the Gospel of Christ can help intercept addictions, whether it's alcohol, drugs, food, sex, or even obsessive worry.

But here's the twist: instead of running from these feelings, he suggests facing them head-on through faith in Christ's death and resurrection. By embracing faith, you can find new courage and boldness to tackle these emotions. Colin emphasizes that praising God and affirming Christ's righteousness can be a game-changer in overcoming temptation. This isn't just about avoiding bad habits; it's about transforming your life by speaking on behalf of Christ and encouraging others on their journey.
If you're curious about how faith can play a pivotal role in your recovery, this episode is a must-listen. It's packed with insights and practical advice that could be the key to keeping your soul open, no matter how bad things get.
