Finding Strength in Doubt: Marya Hornbacher's Spiritual Journey

The spiritual growth made possible by doubt is at the center of a spiritual life. Doubt forces us to undergo a number of spiritual acts, and the most powerful is this: when we doubt, we learn to accept that we may not ever know.
Have you ever thought that doubt could actually make you stronger? In this episode of 'Recovery Road', William C. Moyers sits down with author Marya Hornbacher to discuss her book, 'Waiting: A Nonbeliever's Higher Power'. Hornbacher opens up about her own recovery journey and how she found a spiritual path that works for her. But here's the twist: she believes that doubt isn't something to run from, but something to embrace.
By learning to wait through uncertainty, she argues, we can develop a deeper faith in ourselves and our recovery process. Hornbacher explores how integrating doubt into our spiritual practices can help us become more self-aware and spiritually resilient. This episode dives into themes like spirituality in recovery, self-acceptance, and the power of waiting. It's a thought-provoking conversation that challenges conventional wisdom and offers a fresh perspective on the role of doubt in our lives.
Tune in to discover how embracing uncertainty can lead to profound spiritual growth and a more meaningful recovery journey.
