Ego and special interest destroy a group if given authority. We need to trust in a loving power that's looking out for everyone in their best interest, and to remember not to let our ego get in the way. - Recovery (Sort Of) Podcast
Ever thought about what it truly means to serve a group selflessly? In this episode of 'Recovery (Sort Of)', Billy and Jason tackle the profound yet practical aspects of Tradition 2: 'For our group purpose there is but one ultimate authority—a loving God as He may express Himself in our group conscience. Our leaders are but trusted servants; they do not govern'.
They dive into the nuances of group conscience versus group opinion, emphasizing how spiritual principles remain harmonious, even when personal egos and personalities try to take center stage. The hosts explore how choosing the right person for a task, rather than just the most popular one, can transform group dynamics. They discuss the importance of humility and leading by example, not by dictating, whether in family settings, communities, or larger societal structures.
How would our lives change if we applied these principles more broadly? Would we be better parents, partners, and community members? Tune in to hear Billy and Jason's take on these questions and more, as they unravel how Tradition 2 can guide us in everyday life. This episode is a thoughtful blend of practical advice and spiritual wisdom, perfect for anyone navigating the complex waters of recovery or simply looking to lead with more integrity.
