Ever wondered how faith can intersect with addiction recovery? In this episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook', Colin dives into the concluding chapters of Romans to explore the profound impact of faith on mental and spiritual health. Colin, a seasoned spiritual counsellor, isn't just reading scripture; he's unpacking how the teachings of Jesus Christ can be a game-changer for those battling addictions, whether it's alcohol, drugs, or even obsessive worry.
He emphasises that addiction is more about the state of mind, where guilt, shame, and fear reign supreme, rather than the substance itself. Colin passionately argues that a true understanding of Christ's atoning work can provide freedom from these destructive emotions, paving the way for a healthier mind and spirit. Colin also addresses the common pitfalls that Christians face when they lose sight of Jesus' central role in their faith.

This episode isn't just about theology; it's about practical advice for living a life free from addiction by embracing faith in its truest form. With his warm and engaging style, Colin encourages listeners to keep their faith simple and focused on the essentials.
