In this episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook', Colin takes a deep dive into Romans Chapter 3 and its psychological implications for those struggling with addiction. He argues that Christian counselling often fails to apply scripture to the mental dynamics of addiction, and he seeks to remedy this by explaining how the Gospel's message can be a powerful tool in overcoming addictive behaviours.
Colin emphasises that God’s righteousness isn't just about holiness but also about protection, deliverance, and care for the oppressed. He encourages listeners to open their hearts to God, even in the midst of their struggles, suggesting that this openness can lead to healing and personal growth. Through candid discussions about the nature of addiction, Colin highlights that many addictive behaviours stem from legitimate needs being met in unhealthy ways.
By addressing these needs honestly with God, individuals can find a path to healthier fulfilment. This episode is particularly valuable for anyone grappling with addiction or those supporting someone who is, offering both spiritual guidance and practical advice. Tune in to discover how faith can intersect with psychology to provide a holistic approach to recovery.
