Faith and Recovery: Rich and Susan Kallenberg's Journey to Freedom
The love of God transforms us, and I think that when we look at Jesus' life and watch how he treated people and how he was, in constant thinking of others, in constant self-sacrifice, in constant just thinking of other people- and I think that's a whole different way of looking at things than our selfish we're always looking out for number one, trying to take care of number one, and that's what this growing up is all about.
What happens when faith meets the challenge of addiction? Rich and Susan Kallenberg, hosts of 'Freedom to Choose', dive into this question in their episode 'Kingdom of God - Part 3'. Drawing from their own experiences of overcoming addiction, they share practical steps and uplifting stories that aim to guide listeners on their path to recovery. The episode kicks off with a heartfelt prayer, setting the tone for a discussion that weaves together moral development and spiritual growth.
The Kallenbergs explore Dr. Tim Jennings' seven levels of moral development, shedding light on how obedience evolves as one's faith deepens. They contrast fear-driven obedience with love-driven actions, offering insights into how internal moral principles can transform lives. The conversation is enriched with reflections on Jesus' self-sacrificing nature, presenting it as a powerful model for those battling addiction.
