You're basically saying I want a higher power. Now, if you find a higher power that goes that way, yeah, I understand, you can do what you want to do and he gives you what you want. Is there a possibility that something is wrong?
What happens when faith and recovery collide? In this episode of the 'Lazarus Recovery Podcast', Chuck tackles the tricky topic of understanding God as a higher power in the journey to sobriety. Titled 'Landmines 1', this episode dives deep into the often-controversial debate between conservative and liberal theology and its impact on recovery. Chuck doesn't shy away from addressing the 'elephant in the room' – how different views on God can shape one's path to sobriety.
He argues that recovery isn't a spiritual buffet where you can pick and choose what suits you best. Instead, Chuck emphasizes the importance of committing to a higher power, warning against the dangers of cherry-picking spiritual concepts. Through personal anecdotes and thoughtful reflections, Chuck brings clarity to this complex subject, making it relatable for anyone grappling with the intersection of faith and recovery.
Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights into making tough but essential decisions on your recovery journey.
