"Faith is often most required when things are tough"
Faith is often seen as a cornerstone in the journey of recovery, and this episode of Relational Recovery dives deep into what it means to live a life of faith. Hosts Wes Thompson and Austin Hill explore the role faith plays in personal and spiritual development, especially in the context of overcoming addictions. They start with a straightforward definition: faith as reliance upon and trust in God. But they don't stop there.
They delve into the broader implications of faith, touching on how it impacts our daily lives and relationships. Wes and Austin share their personal struggles and triumphs, making the conversation relatable and heartfelt. They discuss how faith isn't just about religious belief but also about trusting others and oneself. Austin brings up the Good Samaritan parable, drawing a modern analogy that makes you think about the unexpected acts of kindness we encounter.
The episode is filled with practical advice, such as practising gratitude for small things and finding trustworthy people to build relationships with. Wes and Austin also tackle the tough questions: What do you do when your faith wavers? How do you trust again after being hurt? Their candid discussion offers both comfort and challenge, encouraging you to reflect on your own journey of faith and recovery.
So, if you're struggling with unwanted behaviours or seeking to strengthen your faith, this episode offers a blend of Christian spirituality and psychological insights that could be just what you need. It's a reminder that faith is not just a belief but an ongoing practice that requires effort, intentionality, and sometimes, a leap into the unknown.
