In the podcast episode titled 'CWSA - Step Nine', Terry Hanna, the host of Christians with Secret Addictions, takes you on a heartfelt journey through the ninth step of recovery. Terry, a Christian with over two decades of recovery experience, shares how he overcame addiction with God's grace, a supportive community, and the 12 biblical steps of recovery. This episode focuses on making amends to those harmed by one's addiction, an essential part of healing and spiritual growth.
Terry uses biblical stories, like that of Zacchaeus, to illustrate the importance of reconciliation and transformation. You'll hear how Zacchaeus, once a despised tax collector, became a giver after encountering Jesus. This change mirrors the journey many face in recovery—turning from takers to givers. Terry emphasises that making amends is not just a suggestion but a divine priority, as highlighted in Matthew 5:23-24. He encourages listeners to embrace this step with faith and courage, aided by the Holy Spirit.
With a blend of humour and sincerity, Terry reminds you that recovery isn't a solo journey; it's about finding support and community. He concludes by inviting you to reflect on your spiritual path and consider the transformative power of the ninth step. If you're seeking inspiration and guidance on your recovery journey, this episode is a beacon of hope.
