Rethinking Expectations: Jesus as a Guide in Recovery

So what god really expects out of people is to live in communion with him and in justice. And when that happens, it's not just ourselves, but the world around us.
Expectations can be tricky, can't they? In this episode of 'On the Battlefield', hosts Fr. Joseph Collins and Fr. Michael Marcantoni dive into the murky waters of expectations and how they often lead us astray. They ponder over the question, 'Is Jesus our example?' and challenge listeners to rethink their views on Jesus beyond the 'What Would Jesus Do?' cliché. Is He just a moral figure, or does He demand a deeper transformation from us? The conversation doesn't stop there.
They also explore how unrealistic expectations can affect our relationships, especially with those battling addiction. Fr. Joseph and Fr. Michael discuss the importance of setting balanced expectations and living in true communion with God and justice. They touch on the pitfalls of seeking too much comfort and the necessity of responding thoughtfully to life's inevitable challenges.
This episode is a blend of spiritual wisdom and practical advice, offering a fresh perspective on how to navigate expectations in both personal growth and addiction recovery. It's a must-listen for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of faith and self-improvement.
