Unity and Diversity: Church's Role in Addiction Recovery
“Our unity is based not on us individually, but on what we share in Christ, Jesus and who he is.”
Imagine a place where everyone’s differences are not just accepted but celebrated. In this episode of 'Relational Recovery', host Wes Thompson sits down with Phil Shimer to discuss how the church and community can be pillars of support in addiction recovery. Phil dives into the importance of unity in faith and how it can create a strong foundation for a healthy, supportive community.
They also tackle the challenge of differing opinions within the church and the danger of using exclusive family language. Instead, Phil advocates for an outward-focused, mission-driven approach that can help the church serve its community better. This episode is packed with valuable insights on how embracing diversity and maintaining a unified faith can make a world of difference in the journey to recovery.
