Our fundamental problem is that we imagine a god that comes out of our human experience. We imagine god to be like the people we have known in our lives.
Ever wondered how your personal experiences shape your view of God? In this episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio,' Monty Dale Meyer, affectionately known as the Monty'man, takes you on a journey through the complex ways our fears and ignorance can distort our perception of the divine. Titled 'A Thwarted View of God,' this meditorial digs into how these skewed images can affect your path to recovery.
Monty'man explores how many of us create little gods based on the harsh and impossible expectations we've encountered in life. These false gods can be demanding, unforgiving, and downright abusive, reflecting the flawed humans we've known rather than a loving higher power. Drawing from a Bible verse in Romans, Monty'man sheds light on how these distorted views can keep us stuck in unhealthy patterns. But he doesn't just stop at identifying the problem; he offers a way out.
By embracing a compassionate and loving God, Monty'man believes we can transform our recovery journey. He shares his own struggles with these 'little gods' and his longing to connect with a God of grace and glory. Through heartfelt prayer and reflection, he encourages listeners to open their hearts to a more nurturing and forgiving divine presence. If you're grappling with your spiritual beliefs and how they impact your recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
Monty'man's meditorial provides not just food for thought but also practical steps towards embracing a healthier, more compassionate view of God.
