Step Six, Part Two: Embracing Holiness with God's Help
“This integration, getting both feet on the dock, is only possible when we surrender our will and our lives to God, when we do things God's way, not our way, when we're entirely ready to have God remove all of our defects of character.”
Imagine having the courage to let go of all the behaviors that hold you back. In this episode of 'Joyful Recovery in Christ', Pastor Jim Nihiser takes a deep dive into Step Six, focusing on the concept of integration and achieving holiness through God's grace. Pastor Jim, along with his guests, breaks down the importance of being 'entirely ready' to let God remove our defects of character.
It's a step that challenges us to trust in a higher power, Jesus Christ, and recognize that we can't overcome our flaws on our own. Pastor Jim shares personal stories, including how his own character defects once served as coping mechanisms, providing temporary relief but ultimately leading him away from true peace. By surrendering to God, we can find lasting calmness and contentment without the harmful side effects.
The episode also emphasizes the importance of community and support in the recovery journey. Pastor Jim reminds us that achieving a fully integrated personality means aligning our lives with God's will and embracing the holiness He calls us to.
