Finding Strength in Faith: A Journey Through Addiction Recovery
And what we know is that Jesus Loved Jonah when he was unlovable.
Imagine a path where faith and psychology walk hand in hand towards recovery. In this episode of Transformation Radio, you'll hear passages from The One Year Bible (NLT) read by Tom Dooley, alongside a heartfelt message from Pastor Wes Thompson of The Refuge Church. This episode isn't just about scripture; it's about how Christian spirituality and psychological insights can help you overcome addiction.
Pastor Wes shares his thoughts on the power of repentance and grace, urging listeners to face their problems head-on rather than running away. Running, he says, leads to breakdowns and deeper longing, but turning to God offers a path to true transformation. Real-life stories of healing and forgiveness are woven throughout, reminding us that even in our darkest moments, grace is available.
Pastor Wes uses the story of Jonah to illustrate that no matter how far we've strayed, we are never beyond God's love. This episode dives into the emotional impact of unfaithfulness and betrayal, yet highlights the redemptive power of forgiveness. Whether you're at the beginning of your recovery journey or well along the way, this episode offers a blend of spiritual and psychological tools to support you.
It's a reminder that you are not alone and that recovery is possible through faith and science working together.
