Sanity is about taking a good, hard look at ourselves - in reality, warts and all. All of us want to change our behaviour... But that begins with a change in our thinking first. And our thinking begins with God because he is the ultimate truth.
Imagine your life as a chaotic kitchen in a reality TV cooking show. That's how Carolyn, a grateful believer in Jesus Christ, kicks off this episode of 'Choose Recovery @ Cedarview Community Church'. With a prayer and a clever analogy, she draws you into the messy, unpredictable world of our personal lives. Ever feel like you're trying to juggle too many pots and pans, all while hoping to whip up something resembling sanity? Carolyn gets it.
She knows the struggle of trying to change not just yourself but also those around you, often without success. She talks about the frustration, the anger, and the hurt that come when people don't cooperate with our well-intentioned 'help'. But here's the twist—Carolyn encourages us to take a step back and really look at our lives. What if we aligned our thoughts with God's truth? What if we sought honest perspectives from trusted friends?
Drawing from the 12-step program, she offers practical advice on consuming enriching content and fostering healthy relationships. It's about more than just sanity; it's about transformation. So, if you're ready to move from chaos to clarity, this episode might just be the guide you need.
