  • Testing and experiencing faith is crucial.

  • God's love is constant, even in tough times.
There is this progressive nature of believing... we're never really done.
Mark Beebe takes you on a heartfelt journey through Step 2 of the 12-step recovery programme in this episode of 'Recovery at Cokesbury'. Step 2 is all about finding faith in a power greater than ourselves, and Mark breaks it down in a way that's both relatable and profound. He shares his own struggles with belief, highlighting that coming to believe can take years, even decades.
This isn't about instant transformation; it's a gradual process where faith and hope grow over time. Mark talks candidly about the challenges of accepting a higher power, especially when life throws curveballs. He addresses the common doubts and questions many face, like why bad things happen if God loves us. His reflections are raw and honest, offering comfort to those feeling lost or sceptical. He emphasises that God's love is constant, even when we can't see it.
One of the key points Mark makes is the importance of testing and experiencing faith for oneself. He encourages you to 'taste and see' that the Lord is good, rather than taking his word for it. This hands-on approach to spirituality is refreshing and practical, making the abstract concept of faith more tangible. Mark also delves into the misconceptions people often have about God, urging you to explore who God truly is through the teachings of Jesus.
This episode is filled with anecdotes and personal stories that make the heavy topic of faith feel accessible and engaging. If you're grappling with your belief in a higher power or just looking for some encouragement on your recovery journey, this episode offers a compassionate and insightful perspective. Tune in to hear Mark's thoughtful take on faith, hope, and the gradual process of coming to believe. Feeling stuck in your recovery journey?
