In this episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook', Colin dives into the psychological impact of faith in the Gospel of Christ on addiction recovery. He discusses how faith-training can help you intercept addictions, whether it's alcohol, drugs, food, sex, or even obsessive worry. Colin outlines three critical factors in the struggle for freedom from addiction: the sin condition, emotional wounds, and escapes from pain.
He emphasises that addiction often stems from trying to escape emotional pain and that recognising our sinful nature is crucial for recovery. Colin shares a compelling story about a woman who believed she no longer had a sinful nature after accepting Christ. He explains that while Christ took our sinful nature upon Himself, He didn't remove it. This understanding is foundational for recovery, as it helps you stop condemning yourself for your human flaws.
Colin quotes Romans 4:5 to illustrate that God justifies the ungodly by treating us as if we were righteous, despite our sinful nature. The episode encourages you to change your thought patterns through faith, which can lead to a healthier mind and body. Colin argues that many Christian and secular psychologists miss this critical point. He advises practising faith even when you feel at your worst, as this can transform your psychology and overall well-being.
Why should you listen to this episode? If you're struggling with addiction or know someone who is, Colin's unique perspective on integrating faith and psychology offers a fresh approach to recovery. His insights can help you understand that your sinful nature doesn't define you and that faith can bring about profound psychological changes. Don't miss out on this enlightening discussion that blends spiritual truths with practical advice for overcoming addiction.
