Faith and Recovery: The Salvation Army’s Approach with Father Bill W.

I don't see any problem synthesizing the steps and the big book and the preaching of the gospel, and that anybody knows that there's just a little bit of history will find out that that's absolutely true, that the steps are scripturally based.
Ever wondered how faith and recovery intersect? In this episode, Father Bill W. sits down with Major David Sams, the Administrator of the Salvation Army’s Adult Rehabilitation Center in Washington, D.C., to uncover the unique blend of religion and 12-Step recovery. Major Sams, a staunch advocate of AA, shares his extensive experience in helping people reclaim their lives from addiction. They dive into the Salvation Army’s long-standing history, dating back to the mid-1800s, and its founder General William Booth's vision.
You'll hear about the integration of the 12-Steps into their 6-month residential centers and how this faith-based approach provides a lifeline without the hefty price tag of many treatment centers. The episode also touches on the social aspects of Booth's philosophy and how it aligns with modern recovery practices. If you're curious about how spiritual practices can aid in addiction recovery, this episode offers a fascinating look into one of the largest providers of rehabilitation services in the U.S.
