I choose to hear and own things that align with, and I don't have to resist, I don't have to make anybody wrong in their conversation. And then, and when I've seen people who say they're suffering from a disease, they act like they're suffering their demeanor, their how they walk in the world, it feels like, well, god, that it would.
Can you imagine finding joy even when life throws its toughest challenges at you? That's exactly what Ray Nelson, a Unity minister and someone in long-term recovery, has managed to do. In this heartwarming episode of 'Spirit of Recovery', hosts Rev. Dan Beckett and Rev. Michelle Vargas sit down with Ray to explore how he has chosen to live a joyful life despite being diagnosed with end-stage kidney disease in 2014.
Ray's story is a testament to the power of choice and perspective. He believes that we are much more than our illnesses or addictions, and that by using spiritual recovery tools, we can face life's curveballs with faith and joy. Ray sees his condition not as a setback, but as a gift—an opportunity to live life to the fullest and help others do the same.
Throughout the episode, Ray shares practical ways to prepare oneself mentally and emotionally for spiritual work. He emphasizes the importance of waking up to the present moment and being guided by a higher power towards joy. His insights are not just for those in recovery, but for anyone looking to find happiness amidst life's difficulties. Join Rev. Dan Beckett and Rev. Michelle Vargas for this inspiring conversation with Ray Nelson.
