Step Seven of recovery, as presented in this episode of Christians with Secret Addictions, tackles the profound challenge of humbly asking God to remove our shortcomings. Host Terry Hanna, with over two decades of recovery under his belt, brings his personal experience and faith to the forefront, sharing how a relationship with Jesus Christ is pivotal in overcoming addiction.
The episode underscores the importance of surrounding oneself with a supportive community, highlighting the power of recovering addicts helping others on their journey. Terry emphasises that true recovery comes not from human effort alone but through divine intervention and the transformative work of the Holy Spirit. The discussion delves into the interwoven nature of the recovery steps, particularly how Step Seven builds upon Steps Four through Six.
With a touch of humour and sincerity, Terry shares his own experience of applying Step Seven, recounting his heartfelt plea for change and the subsequent transformation he experienced. The episode also encourages listeners to ponder their own readiness to embrace this spiritual heart transplant, challenging them to reflect on whether they are truly seeking change or merely paying lip service.
As the episode progresses, Terry introduces the idea that addiction can be seen as a demonic force, using our character defects as weapons against us. The solution, he asserts, lies in recognising our need for help and turning to Jesus for guidance and support. This spiritual journey requires humility and a willingness to let go of control, allowing God to lead us out of our struggles.
The episode wraps up with a call to action, urging listeners to humble themselves and invite Jesus into their lives to break free from the chains of addiction. With a promise of restoration and healing, Terry invites you to join him next week for Step Eight, where the focus will shift to making amends for past wrongs. If you're ready for a transformative journey and seeking support in your recovery, this episode offers both inspiration and practical guidance.
