At some point in recovery you have to work the steps and you get to the first step and it says: we admitted we were powerless. So really what we re saying is: I suck at control.
Imagine trying to bake a cake without ever reading a recipe or attempting to write a novel without knowing how to spell. It sounds chaotic, right?
In this episode of Broadway UMC's Pathway podcast, the hosts use these relatable scenarios to dive into the concept of 'Scales and Improvisation.' They argue that just like you need to learn musical scales before you can improvise a jazz solo, you need to master the basics in life before you can truly let go and live freely. But what happens when control becomes a crutch rather than a stepping stone?
The episode takes a thoughtful look at how the need for control can stifle our growth, especially when dealing with addiction, mental health issues, and toxic relationships. By discussing the importance of admitting powerlessness and embracing Christian surrender, the hosts offer a fresh perspective on finding freedom through letting go. They even touch on the idea of returning to a 'Garden of Eden' state, where walking with God means cooperation and mutual support.
Whether you're struggling with addiction or just trying to find a little more peace in your daily life, this episode offers valuable insights wrapped in heartfelt storytelling. Tune in to 'Scales and Improvisation' and discover how mastering the basics can set you free.
