In this episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook', the focus is on Romans 6:15 and the intriguing question it poses: 'Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace?' Colin explores this from a psychological perspective, diving into how escaping from pain often leads to addiction. He discusses how childhood trauma, such as abuse or neglect, can result in addictive behaviours in adulthood as a way to bury uncomfortable feelings.
But what happens when the gospel brings peace and forgiveness, removing guilt and shame? Colin suggests that gratitude should become the new motivator. However, for those who have spent their lives escaping pain, developing an attitude of gratitude can be a monumental challenge. Through biblical references and personal anecdotes, Colin highlights the importance of training oneself to be thankful for even the simplest things in life.
This episode is a profound exploration of how faith can transform one's approach to life and addiction recovery. Tune in to discover how gratitude can be a powerful tool in your journey towards healing and peace.
