Life Recovery Today with Stephen Arterburn is a podcast that brings together the power of biblical principles and the 12-step programme to offer a fresh perspective on recovery. In Episode 115, Corey Busk dives into the story of the prodigal son, focusing on the often-overlooked character of the older brother. This episode sheds light on how addiction impacts not just the individual but also their family and friends.
Corey uses the parable to explore the complex emotions that family members experience when dealing with a loved one's addiction. Corey, having experienced recovery himself, shares his insights from working at a treatment centre, helping others find freedom from addiction. He talks about the mixed feelings of resentment and hurt that can arise in families affected by addiction, likening them to the older brother's reaction to his sibling's return.
Corey encourages those who feel unseen and unheard in their journey to acknowledge their feelings and find healing in their own time. Stephen Arterburn, a best-selling author and pastor, hosts this enlightening discussion. He emphasises the importance of connection and community in recovery, highlighting how God's word can be a source of hope and transformation for everyone involved. The episode is not just for those battling addiction but also for their loved ones seeking healing and understanding.

It offers valuable insights into the dynamics of family relationships in recovery and invites you to see the healing potential in embracing both faith and community support.
