The law was meant to reveal our sinfulness, our brokenness, our addictive struggles. Well, why does god want us to feel that all the time? Surely he's not some sadist who wants us to feel miserable and bad at all times. No, what he wants is that for the law to do its work in us, to face it.
Have you ever wondered how faith can help break the chains of addiction? In this episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook', Colin takes listeners on a journey through the powerful role of faith in overcoming addictive behaviors. Drawing from the teachings of Romans 5-8, he uncovers how addiction is not just about the substance or behavior, but about the deeper struggle with sin and feelings of worthlessness.
Colin explains how our psychological reactions to wrath and death can fuel addiction, making us feel trapped and powerless. But there's hope. By focusing on faith and the teachings of Jesus, we can find the strength to confront our inner demons and break free from addiction's hold. He also discusses how the law, rather than curbing addiction, can sometimes exacerbate it by highlighting our shortcomings. Instead, he points to the importance of faith in guiding us towards righteousness and healing.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of how spirituality can aid in recovery. Whether you're battling addiction yourself or supporting a loved one, Colin's insights offer a fresh perspective on finding freedom through faith.
