Well, like the religious leaders of Jesus' Day, we may sometimes find ourselves resistant to joy.
Ever thought joy was off-limits during recovery? Think again. In this episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio', Monty Dale Meyer, affectionately known as the Monty'man, shakes up conventional views with his Meditorial titled 'It's OK to Party'. Monty'man dives into the often overlooked role of joy in the recovery journey, challenging the idea that faith and celebration can't coexist. Drawing from Jesus' teachings, he argues that joy is not just permissible but essential, even when facing life's toughest battles.
Monty'man tackles the resistance many feel towards joy during recovery. He acknowledges that people often shy away from joy due to fear of disappointment or a belief that seriousness equals faithfulness. But he flips the script by highlighting moments from Jesus' life where celebration was front and center, like feasts thrown for the lost being found or for repentance. This episode isn't just about religious teachings; it's about real-life application.
Monty'man emphasizes that experiencing joy doesn't mean ignoring other emotions like grief or anger. Instead, he encourages listeners to welcome joy as it comes, even amidst conflicting feelings. He argues that waiting for a perfect emotional state to feel joy is a lost cause; joy can coexist with pain and struggle. So, are you ready to embrace the party of life? Monty'man invites you to reconsider your stance on joy in recovery.
This episode offers a refreshing perspective that joy is a divine gift meant to be cherished, not shunned. Tune in and see how you can start celebrating your journey today.
