The reason we're not seeing god move like we long for, or because we're not...It's because we're neglecting the most simple things which is slowing down enough to be able to pay attention.
Ever felt the need to just be alone and think? In this thoughtful episode of 'Healing Connections', hosts Wes Thompson and Austin Hill explore the surprising benefits of solitude for those on the path to addiction recovery. Wes and Austin start by sharing their own struggles and successes with finding quiet moments. Austin talks about his challenges with staying still but finds peace in walking through nature.
Wes, on the other hand, draws inspiration from how trees grow towards sunlight, seeing it as a metaphor for unseen personal growth. The hosts stress that setting aside regular times for solitude can make a huge difference in your life. Austin points out that these moments of reflection add up over time, helping us see how far we've come. Wes shares a quote from John Eldredge that underscores the value of being present and slowing down to feel God's presence.
By the end of the episode, you'll appreciate how simple, consistent practices can transform your recovery journey. Whether you're just starting out or have been sober for years, this episode offers valuable insights into the power of solitude.
