Flesh controls can be beneficial. They are helpful, but they lead a little bit to a superficial approach to recovery.
Pastor Max Ingram is back with the conclusion of the engaging series, 'People, Places, and Things.' In this second part, he dives into the significant impact our surroundings and relationships have on our recovery journey. Max talks about 'flesh control,' a concept where our impulses and desires can dominate our behaviour, steering us away from spiritual growth and healthy living.
He explains that while controlling these impulses can be beneficial in the short term, it doesn't address the root cause of addiction. Using relatable examples, he illustrates how merely avoiding triggers isn't enough for long-term recovery. Instead, he emphasises the importance of a spiritual awakening that shifts our desires from flesh to spirit.
This episode is packed with practical steps to build and maintain a positive support system, avoid common pitfalls, and create a fulfilling life centred around growth and healing. Max also shares insightful biblical references and personal anecdotes to underline the importance of a spiritual foundation in overcoming addiction. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable perspectives and encouragement.
Tune in to hear Max's wisdom and find out how you can move beyond mere flesh control to achieve true spiritual growth.
