And it became so profoundly real to him that I just love to remind everyone that if you're in that position and you're restless and you're desperate and you don't know if god is there, tonight can be your moment where you call out to god and say: are you there, and he can show up and reveal himself to you in a way that will blow you over just the way it did to justin.
Imagine hitting rock bottom, only to find an unexpected lifeline in faith. That's the heart of Justin's story on this episode of 'Real Recovery'. Hosted by Bill Arnold, the podcast dives deep into Justin's tumultuous battle with alcohol addiction and his ultimate redemption through a newfound relationship with God. Justin opens up about his harrowing experiences with detox and repeated attempts at sobriety that seemed destined to fail.
It wasn't until he surrendered to a higher power that his life began to change in unimaginable ways. One of the most compelling parts of Justin's journey is his discussion about the steps in addiction recovery. He explains how these steps were crucial in helping him step aside and let the Holy Spirit guide him. Spiritual disciplines also played a pivotal role, teaching him to empty himself of ego and pride, making room for divine intervention.
The episode also tackles the idea of 'contempt prior to investigation'. Justin admits he had many preconceived notions about God and Christianity that initially held him back. However, those barriers crumbled when he experienced God's love and grace firsthand. He also touches on the power of evangelism, sharing how it can break through skepticism and bring people closer to faith. Throughout the episode, Justin's humility and gratitude are palpable.
He reflects on how his addiction strained his relationships and expresses deep appreciation for the support he received from family, friends, and a transformative treatment program. His story is a powerful testament to the impact of community and spiritual guidance in overcoming addiction. In essence, Justin's narrative is one of hope and renewal. He encourages others struggling with addiction to seek help and never lose hope.
