Finding Strength in Struggle: Monty'man's Faith-Based Meditorial
People of real faith struggle in life. People of real faith are people who wrestle with thoughts and who feel sorrow in their hearts.
Ever felt like your struggles are a sign of failure? Think again. In this episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio', Monty Dale Meyer, affectionately known as Monty'man, offers a refreshing perspective on the challenges faced during addiction recovery. Titled 'Struggling As a Sign of Spiritual Success', this Meditorial dives into the idea that grappling with our thoughts and emotions isn't a setback but rather a testament to our courage and strength.
Monty'man opens up about two kinds of spiritual distress: questioning God and questioning oneself. He emphasizes that doubting ourselves doesn't make us spiritual failures; instead, it shows that we're actively engaging with our faith. Real faith, he says, involves wrestling with difficult thoughts and still finding hope in God's presence. This Meditorial is a comforting reminder that the hard work of recovery is a sign of spiritual success, not defeat.
Monty'man's heartfelt prayer at the end serves as a beacon of hope for anyone feeling overwhelmed by their struggles, reminding them that they are not alone in their journey. If you're navigating the rough waters of addiction recovery or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable faith-based insights and encouragement.
