Step two confronts us with the reality of our mental illness. Insanity is repeating the same mistakes and expecting different results.
Imagine facing the same struggles day in and day out, hoping for a different outcome. In this episode of 'Christians with Secret Addictions', Terry Hanna dives into the pivotal step two of the recovery journey: believing in a power greater than ourselves. Terry, with his rich experience and unwavering faith, sheds light on how addiction often begins as a quest for pleasure or relief but spirals into a means of dodging life's challenges and responsibilities.
The episode emphasizes that true recovery starts with acknowledging our powerlessness and embracing a higher power that can restore us. For Terry, that higher power is God, the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. Through heartfelt anecdotes and biblical references, he illustrates how witnessing others' recovery journeys can spark hope and demonstrate that restoration is possible, no matter how lost one feels.
Drawing inspiration from the story of Lazarus, who was brought back to life after four days in the grave, Terry reassures listeners that no one is beyond redemption. He encourages taking tangible steps like finding a Bible-teaching church, seeking treatment, attending support meetings, and applying the twelve principles daily. Terry passionately conveys that accepting Christ and receiving the gift of salvation is not an act of insanity but a path to wholeness and recovery.
This episode is a beacon for anyone feeling trapped by addiction, offering spiritual guidance and practical steps towards a renewed life.
