Colin Cook dives deep into the psychological impact of faith in 'The Three Factors In Our Brokenness'. This episode unpacks how faith in the Gospel of Christ can influence our mental state and aid in overcoming addiction, whether it's alcohol, drugs, food, or even obsessive worry. Colin discusses the three key factors contributing to our brokenness: sin, woundedness, and escape. He explains that sin isn't just about individual wrongdoings but a pervasive state of being that affects all humanity.
Woundedness stems from childhood experiences, particularly those involving absent or abusive fathers, which leave lasting emotional scars. Escape, the third factor, manifests in various forms of addiction and avoidance behaviours as we try to flee from our pain and guilt. Colin emphasises that by exercising faith and recognising that we are not condemned, we can begin to confront and heal these deep-seated issues.
He encourages listeners to explore their pasts without fear, using faith as a tool to diminish the power of painful memories. The episode is both enlightening and comforting, offering a blend of spiritual guidance and practical advice for those struggling with addiction and emotional turmoil. If you're looking for a compassionate and insightful approach to understanding and healing your brokenness, this episode is a must-listen.
