We better make sure that this temple is correct, because the place of worship is no more what it used to be, because inside is the dogs and the sorcerers, and the whoremongers, and the murderers and the idolaters, and those that lie and say that they love but they love it and make it a lie.
Ever wondered how faith and recovery intersect? Elder Michelle Hinton brings her unique perspective to the table in this episode, diving into the complexities of substance use disorders, particularly focusing on alcohol. A respected spiritual leader and pastor, Elder Hinton shares her journey and insights, offering a fresh look at the advantages and disadvantages of 12-step programs. She begins with a powerful message about self-reflection and the importance of maintaining a 'correct temple' before becoming part of a church community.
Elder Hinton emphasizes that today's church is different from what it used to be, urging listeners to follow Christ's principles rather than societal norms. Shifting gears to substance use disorders, she breaks down what they are and how they impact individuals. Elder Hinton then explores the pros and cons of 12-step programs. On the plus side, these programs offer a supportive community and a structured path to recovery.
However, she also points out potential downsides, like the focus on powerlessness and the religious undertones that may not resonate with everyone. Throughout the episode, Elder Hinton's personal experiences and reflections add depth to the discussion, making it both informative and engaging. Key takeaways include the importance of understanding the root causes of addiction and finding the right support system. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with alcohol use disorder or seeking to support someone who is.
Elder Hinton's insights are both empowering and relatable, encouraging listeners to consider their own experiences and find their unique path to recovery.
