Finding True Spirituality in Recovery: A Christian Approach

Episode Overview

  • Emphasizes the common focus on spirituality in recovery groups like Alcoholics Anonymous
  • Challenges the limitations of subjective spirituality in the recovery journey
  • Advocates for a more objective, Christ-centred spirituality
  • Highlights the transformative power of embracing a spirituality rooted in Christian principles
  • Stresses the role of the Holy Spirit in guiding the recovery and spiritual journey
The concern here is that the natural mind, the mind that has yet to be converted, cannot, will never be able to develop an effective spirituality... You cannot use the same thinking to find the solution to the problem that that thinking created in the first place.
Ever wondered how spirituality fits into the recovery journey? In this episode, Dr. Rick Peterson tackles the intricate dance between faith and sobriety. While many recovery groups emphasize spirituality, Dr. Peterson digs deeper, questioning the often subjective nature of this spiritual quest. Drawing from his wealth of experience, he makes a case for an objective spirituality rooted in Christian beliefs. Dr. Peterson points out the pitfalls of creating a higher power that simply mirrors our own desires and biases.
Instead, he advocates for a transformative spirituality centered on Christ and guided by the Holy Spirit. This episode offers a thought-provoking perspective on how embracing a Christ-centered faith can profoundly impact your recovery journey.
