The further you go on your spiritual growth path, the narrower the path becomes, which I didn't understand at first, but now I understand it very well, to mean that it's almost like the tolerance for stepping out of integrity.
Ever feel the pull of wanting to look good on your recovery journey? In this episode of 'Spirit of Recovery', hosts Rev. Dan Beckett and Rev. Michelle Vargas dive into the tricky terrain of humility and prestige. They candidly share their own experiences, discussing how the desire for external validation can derail one's path to sobriety. This isn't just about staying humble; it's about practicing humility without feeling humiliated.
The duo explores how childhood instability often leads to a trauma response of self-centeredness, driving an obsessive need for approval from others. They highlight humility as a vital spiritual principle that helps maintain balance and overcome obstacles. Rev. Dan and Rev. Michelle emphasize the importance of doing inner work within a supportive community and serving others. They remind listeners that as you grow spiritually, the path may narrow, but staying the course is crucial.
Tune in for practical advice and heartfelt reflections on maintaining integrity and finding joy in recovery.
