Sin is a dislocated heart. To explain that, I just turned briefly to Augustine, who is the premier theologian of this part of Christian theology. What he would say is his most famous line is: our hearts are restless. They're supposed to be resting in the socket of god.
Ever feel like your heart's not quite in the right place? This episode of 'Relational Recovery' by The Refuge Ministry tackles the deep-seated roots of unwanted behaviors through a unique lens. Kicking off with a passage from James in the New Testament, the hosts emphasize how faith without action is empty. They dive into the concept of a 'dislocated heart', suggesting that many of our struggles stem from a heart that's not aligned with God.
Augustine, the renowned theologian, believed that our hearts are restless until they find rest in God, and this episode explores that idea in depth. You'll hear about the 'order of loves'—how placing anything above God can lead to turmoil in our lives and relationships. The discussion also touches on moral decay and how wise leadership can bring stability to communities.
As a poignant finale, the hosts reflect on Psalm verses that Jesus sang before his crucifixion, tying it all back to the theme of finding true rest in God. If you're looking for an episode that blends spirituality with practical advice for recovery, this one's for you.
