Church isn't necessarily determined by the building you worship in on Sunday morning.
In this episode of Take 12 Recovery Radio, Monty Dale Meyer and his co-hosts Alisha and Tom dive into the biblical roots of the 12 Steps. They share a lively discussion about the importance of community and fellowship in recovery, highlighting how these principles are intertwined with biblical teachings. The hosts explore the role of church attendance, the misconceptions surrounding the 12 Steps, and the significance of accountability in one's recovery journey.
With a touch of humour, they tackle the idea that church is not just a building but a gathering of people with a common purpose. Monty and the team emphasise that while church attendance can be beneficial, the core focus should be on developing a personal relationship with God. The conversation gets personal as the hosts share their experiences with addiction and recovery, including their substances of choice and their sober timelines.
They challenge the notion that counting sober days is unnecessary, arguing that time spent sober reflects growth and maturity in one's recovery process. The episode also addresses questions from listeners about accountability and fellowship, providing thoughtful insights into why staying connected to a supportive community is crucial. With anecdotes and analogies aplenty, the hosts make a compelling case for understanding the original principles behind the 12 Steps and how they can lead to successful recovery.
They encourage listeners to explore their faith deeply, whether through traditional church settings or other forms of fellowship. So if you're curious about how spirituality plays a role in recovery or seeking inspiration from those who have walked the path, this episode offers a rich tapestry of ideas to ponder.
