Breaking Down Barriers: Love's Role in Recovery with Ashes To Rubies
God grant me the wisdom to recognize the faults I am building into a wall. Such a wall cannot be penetrated even by love.
Imagine starting your day with a reflection on the power of love in overcoming addiction. In this episode of 'Ashes To Rubies', the hosts dive into how building walls of hate can impact our relationships and recovery journeys. They kick off with a morning meditation, setting a serene tone to explore these deep topics. The conversation centers around how these emotional barriers can isolate us from those we care about and make recovery even harder.
It's a candid discussion about the effort needed to dismantle these walls, especially in marriages and close relationships. The hosts emphasize the importance of spiritual guidance in this process, sharing personal stories and practical advice. They introduce Life Lab, their workshop designed to foster vulnerability and community for those feeling hopeless.
