Jim K's Spiritual Insights: The Sermon on the Mount and AA

Most of us came to AA thinking we couldn't possibly be sober and yet look at us now because we suspended disbelief.
Imagine finding a spiritual guide that can light your path to sobriety. In this episode of Sober Cast, Jim K takes the stage to share his workshop on 'The Sermon on the Mount,' a profound book by Emmet Fox first published in 1935. Sobriety is a journey, and Jim K, who has been sober since 1980, offers a unique perspective on how this text can be a beacon for those navigating their way through Alcoholics Anonymous.
Recorded at the WACYPAA15 event in Las Vegas back in 2012, Jim's workshop is filled with insights and practical advice that resonate deeply with the AA community. Emmet Fox's 'The Sermon on the Mount' isn't just any book; it's one that played a significant role in the early days of AA, even before the Big Book came into existence.
Jim K unpacks its teachings, showing how positive thinking, scientific prayer, and a personal relationship with a higher power can aid in recovery. He brings to life passages from the book, explaining how they can be applied to overcome the hurdles of addiction. Jim's approach is both relatable and inspiring. He encourages listeners to suspend disbelief and embrace the possibility of change, even when faced with doubt and fear.
His message is clear: find your own spiritual path and don't be confined by traditional dogma or solely rely on conference-approved literature. This episode isn't just for those new to AA but also for long-time members seeking fresh inspiration. Jim K's workshop is more than just a lecture; it's an invitation to explore spirituality in recovery.
By embracing the teachings of 'The Sermon on the Mount' and other spiritual guides, individuals can find the hope and strength needed to live a fulfilling sober life. Tune in and let Jim K's wisdom guide you on your journey to sobriety.
