Finding Strength in Faith: Carol McLeod and Rob Lohman on Overcoming Addiction
So great different frameworks of mind, just kind of thinking of how they go in. So it was a bible study I had taught at my local church, and then I wrote this book.
What if the key to breaking free from addiction was right in front of you, hidden in the power of faith? In this heartfelt episode of 'Addiction, Freedom & Faith', Carol McLeod and Rob Lohman explore just that. Carol, a bestselling author and beloved speaker at women's conferences, brings her unique blend of joy, hope, and biblical wisdom to the table.
She shares insights from her book 'Meanwhile: Meeting God in the Wait', emphasizing that our past or present doesn't define us—it's who we trust that shapes our future. Carol and Rob delve into the 'meanwhile' moments of life, those challenging periods where it feels like nothing is happening, but God is working behind the scenes.
They discuss how Joseph's story from the Bible mirrors our own struggles and victories, showing that even when circumstances seem dire, we can still walk in our God-given destiny. With a mix of humor and heartfelt advice, Carol encourages listeners to engage with God daily through devotions, prayer, and worship. She suggests practical steps like writing your favorite scripture on your bathroom mirror to keep God's promises front and center.
Rob and Carol also highlight the transformative power of words and books, sharing how they can uplift and change lives. Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a beacon of hope. It's a reminder that in the waiting, God is working, and through faith, you can find freedom and purpose.
