Discipleship and Recovery: A Heartfelt Dialogue | SOBER: The Podcast E2

Discipleship to me, in a nutshell, is just a man willing to lay his life down for the service of another person.
What does it mean to truly support someone on their journey to sobriety? In this episode of 'SOBER: The Podcast', Bradley Saxon is joined by Adam and CJ to tackle the complex topic of discipleship in recovery. Bradley emphasizes that discipleship is about selflessly dedicating oneself to help another person grow. The trio dives into the significance of one-on-one mentorship, known as Close Quarters, and how it helps individuals find their identity in Jesus.
They also touch on the pitfalls of codependency and the risks of giving too much power to another person in a recovery setting. Misunderstandings and offenses in mentorship relationships are examined, with a caution against treating recovery like a numbers game. Honesty and checking one's motivations for teaching are highlighted as crucial elements for effective discipleship.
The conversation wraps up with a discussion on the value of seeing the fruits of one's labor and appreciating the unique experiences each person brings to the table. If you're navigating your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and heartfelt advice.
