Finding God in the Chaos: Embracing Your True Self in Recovery
Spirituality is about learning to love ourselves even in the most messy, painful, and confusing experiences—not by pretending to 'be perfect,' or 'too spiritual to hurt.'
Ever wondered if spirituality can really help you through the messiest parts of life? In this episode of 'Spirit of Recovery', hosts Rev. Dan Beckett and Rev. Michelle Vargas team up with Unity minister and author Greg Barrette to explore this very question.
Greg shares his deep commitment to transformative spirituality, focusing on how accepting our psychological makeup, coupled with a broader spiritual understanding, can lead us to find the Presence of God right in the midst of our everyday chaos. Forget about being 'too spiritual to hurt'—this conversation is all about loving yourself through the pain and confusion. The trio dives into the three phases of mind, the importance of unity in recovery, and the power of self-discovery and self-awareness.
They also tackle the tricky subject of dealing with resentments and other psychological burdens that can keep us from living joyfully. Rev. Vargas emphasizes that spirituality isn't about perfection; it's about embracing our humanness. If you're seeking practical advice and heartfelt inspiration on your recovery journey, this episode is a must-listen.
