Finding a Divine Friend: Ron Scott's Journey to Spiritual Recovery

It's about transforming your understanding of who god is in relationship to a person, to a friendly kind of a relationship, not this adversarial relationship.
Who wants to follow a God who feels distant and unkind? Probably no one! In this heartfelt episode of 'Spirit of Recovery', Rev. Dan Beckett and Rev. Michelle Vargas sit down with Ron Scott, a Unity minister and author, to explore how he transformed his relationship with his Higher Power from one of judgment to one of love and friendship.
Ron shares the simple yet profound process his minister introduced to him years ago, which helped him see God as a loving Divine Friend. This new perspective has led Ron to a life filled with joy, abundance, and deep fulfillment. Ron’s journey is a testament to the transformative power of spirituality in recovery. He opens up about his struggles as a 'dry drunk' and how attending recovery meetings played a crucial role in his healing.
The conversation dives into the intersection of addiction and spirituality, highlighting the unique challenges faced by those on the recovery path. Ron emphasizes the importance of letting go of control and placing trust in a higher power, which can be particularly challenging for individuals in recovery. Listeners will find Ron’s four-step process for reclaiming life both practical and inspiring.
He discusses how changing one's perception of God from an adversarial figure to a loving friend can shift one’s entire outlook on life. Practical techniques such as meditation and seeking divine guidance are also shared, offering listeners actionable steps to enhance their spiritual growth. The episode is filled with personal anecdotes, including a touching story about how Ron and his wife found the perfect property for their church through what they believe was divine intervention.
