What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? In this captivating episode of 'Relational Recovery', hosts Wes Thompson and Austin Hill tackle the whirlwind pace of modern life and its impact on our mental well-being. They argue that society's obsession with speed has left us anxious, tired, and disconnected from our inner selves. The episode highlights the importance of spiritual disciplines like meditative prayer and reflective silence as antidotes to our fast-paced lives.
Wes and Austin discuss how slowing down allows us to truly listen—to ourselves, to God, and to the emotions we often suppress. The duo explores the concept of fear as a beneficial emotion, urging listeners to face it head-on rather than flee. By reflecting on fear, they suggest, we can uncover deeper truths about ourselves and our beliefs.
