Faith Over Fear: Insights from 2 Sober Chicks
The opposite of faith is not fear, it's assurance, because if I'm assured about something, I don't need to have faith, because it's already a done deal. For me to have faith, I have to either be in fear or in doubt, which is the antidote.
Ever wondered how faith can help you conquer fear and doubt? In this episode of '2 Sober Chicks', Lisa and Julie dive into this very topic, sharing their personal experiences and wisdom. Lisa kicks things off by explaining that the opposite of faith isn't fear, but assurance. When we're sure about something, faith isn't needed. It's when we're uncertain or afraid that faith steps in as the antidote.
Julie chimes in, reminding us that it's perfectly okay to feel our emotions, even the tough ones like anger or discouragement. Ignoring these feelings can do more harm than good. Instead, acknowledging and working through them can lead to emotional resilience and a stronger recovery journey. Throughout the episode, they discuss how faith plays a crucial role in overcoming fear, the importance of self-acceptance, and the power of embracing all emotions, not just the positive ones.
