A recovery built on personal choice is in fact built on shifting sand, but a recovery built on the decision to turn our will and our life over to Christ. That recovery is built on solid bedrock.
When it comes to recovery, how often do we find ourselves wavering between choices, unsure of the path to take? Pastor Jim Nihiser tackles this very dilemma in the ninth episode of 'Joyful Recovery in Christ'.
This episode isn't just another discussion on the twelve steps; it's a deep dive into Step Three, which urges us to 'make a decision to turn our will and our life over to the care of God.' Pastor Jim unpacks the critical difference between 'choice' and 'decision', showing that while choices are abundant and often confusing, a decision is a firm commitment to a course of action.
Using the parable of the wise and foolish builders, he vividly illustrates how a recovery built on personal choices is like a house on shifting sand—unstable and unreliable. Conversely, making the decision to align our will with Christ’s provides a rock-solid foundation for our recovery journey. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to strengthen their faith while navigating the challenges of addiction.
Pastor Jim’s empathetic approach offers both spiritual and practical guidance, making it clear that true recovery comes from a steadfast commitment to Christ. Tune in to discover how this powerful decision can transform your life and fortify your recovery.
