Embracing Change: Monty Mann on Transformation in Recovery
God promises to change us. Our stone hearts will be removed and in their place will be put a heart of flesh, a heart of stone.
Change can be a daunting prospect, especially when you're on the path to recovery. In this episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio', Monty Mann, affectionately known as the Monty'man, tackles the theme of transformation head-on. Drawing from a devotional meditation by Dale and Juanita Ryan and The National Association for Christian Recovery, Monty explores how change is not just inevitable but essential for healing.
He delves into the concept of shifting from a heart of stone to a heart of flesh, emphasizing that while our stone hearts may feel strong and invulnerable, they also keep us closed off from love and joy. Through faith and a willingness to embrace vulnerability, Monty believes we can open ourselves up to profound transformation. He reminds listeners that God promises to change us, replacing our stone hearts with ones capable of truly feeling and celebrating life.
If you're grappling with addiction or know someone who is, this episode offers a beacon of hope and inspiration. Monty's heartfelt message encourages us to let go of our fear of change and embrace the promise of a new, more fulfilling life.
