Recovery is possible! The church has the fullness of Christ, and that word literally means to fill completely. All authority, all power, all dominion- everything that is Christ belongs to us.
Imagine finding the strength to overcome addiction through both faith and science. In this episode of 'Relational Recovery', titled 'Fullness Of Christ', the hosts explore how the power of Christ and the authority believers hold can be a cornerstone for recovery. The episode kicks off with a poignant reading from the book of Matthew, setting a reflective tone.
The wise men, astrologer-scientists, worship Christ and bring Him gifts, while King Herod reacts with fear and deception, showcasing the spectrum of responses to Christ's birth. John the Baptist's fearless preaching in the Judean wilderness is also highlighted, offering a stark contrast to Herod's fear. A heartfelt prayer from Paul for wisdom and revelation follows, aiming to deepen believers' understanding of Christ.
The episode doesn't shy away from tough topics like the violence in the West Bank but frames it all under the dominion of Christ. The church's possession of the 'fullness of Christ'—meaning complete empowerment—is emphasized as a transformative truth for those on their recovery journey. The episode wraps up with an inspiring call to action, encouraging listeners to embrace the science of behavior change and take their first steps towards healing.
If you're seeking both spiritual and practical guidance on your path to recovery, this episode offers a blend of heartfelt stories and actionable advice.
