Asleep In The Light and Emotional Sobriety In the Church

Asleep In The Light and Emotional Sobriety In the Church

What does it mean to be emotionally sober within a faith community? In this engaging episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio', host Monty Dale Meyer, better known as the Monty'man, is joined by Southern California Representative Roger McDiarmid to tackle this very question. They dive into the intriguing topic of emotional sobriety in churches and faith-based communities, questioning whether people attend church for the right reasons or if they might be emotionally dependent on the institution itself.

The conversation doesn't shy away from tough questions. Has the church fallen asleep in the light of God's grace? How does organized religion stack up against organized 12 Step recovery meetings? These thought-provoking discussions aim to shed light on the importance of emotional sobriety and how it can impact one's spiritual journey. With a special musical performance of 'Asleep In The Light' by Keith Green, covered by Mark Martell, the episode brings an artistic touch to these deep reflections.

Monty and Roger also explore the role of love, humility, and growth in recovery, emphasizing how these elements are crucial for anyone looking to lead a fulfilling, sober life. This episode is perfect for those who are part of a faith community or are interested in how spirituality intersects with recovery. It offers a fresh perspective on emotional sobriety and its significance in our daily lives.
