Weathering Life's Storms: Understanding Pruning in Recovery with Katie Sanders
I think that we've painted such a picture of what the Christian looks like, the Christian Christian. I think that's where this weed of pride gets way into Today's Christianity: unrecognizable pride, things that we don't even associate with pride.
Ever wondered if the tough times you're facing are more than just bad luck? In this episode of 'Unashamed Recovery', hosts Josh and Drew sit down with Katie Sanders from Mess & Mercy Ministries to explore the concept of 'pruning' in the context of addiction recovery. Pruning isn't just about trimming the dead parts; it's a divine process that helps us grow stronger and more fruitful. But how does this idea apply to our personal journeys of sobriety?
Katie shares her insights on recognizing these periods of growth and understanding them as part of God's plan rather than punishment. Together, they discuss how to hear God's voice amidst the chaos, avoid the pitfalls of pride, and stay obedient to His will. This episode offers a fresh perspective on navigating life's storms, emphasizing that sometimes what feels like a setback is actually a setup for greater things.
Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, you'll find valuable takeaways and spiritual encouragement here. Tune in for a candid conversation that breaks the stigma of addiction and sheds light on the transformative power of faith.
