Episode Overview

Inner discipling is when you look at what Jesus did with these disciples and you take the same attitude towards yourself. It's based on the best teaching that human beings have ever had, which is Jesus and his life, his ministry, how he worked with the disciples, and why he worked with these same disciples that he called evil to their face.
Imagine finding a way to connect the teachings of Jesus with your journey to overcome addiction. In this episode of 'Alternative To Rehab', Dave Cooper offers a unique perspective by sharing an excerpt from Chapter Ten of his book. Here, he introduces the concept of 'inner discipling', drawing a fascinating parallel between the disciples' experiences and our own path to recovery.
Cooper breaks down how to apply the lessons from the Gospels to your daily life, transforming spiritual insights into practical recovery steps. He emphasizes the importance of recognizing and working with our inner parts—those voices of doubt, shame, or fear that often hold us back. By using authoritative, affirming, and loving approaches, he shows how we can address these inner struggles.
Throughout the episode, Cooper seamlessly weaves together biblical teachings and neurological insights, offering listeners practical advice and encouraging compassionate self-discovery. Whether you're new to recovery or looking for deeper spiritual connections, this episode provides a refreshing blend of faith and science to guide you on your journey.
