Mending Trust: A Pathway to Healing
Episode Overview
Trust is crucial in overcoming addiction. Misconceptions can lead to a breach of trust. Align beliefs with truth for healing. Free will involves responsible choices. God's kindness leads to repentance.
"The good news is that you're the problem, but the even better news is that the solution is a heavenly, divine, everlasting solution."
In the 'Freedom to Choose' podcast episode titled 'Healing By Design – The Breach Of Trust', Rich and Susan Kallenberg tackle the complex issue of trust and its vital role in overcoming addiction. Drawing from their own experiences, they share how misconceptions and lies can lead to a breach of trust, which they equate to sin. The episode dives into the spiritual and emotional consequences of believing falsehoods about oneself and God, and how these can perpetuate addictive behaviours.
The Kallenbergs use anecdotes, like the tale of their feral cats, to illustrate how easily we can be misled by our perceptions. Just as they feared their cats had escaped, only to find them safe indoors, we often base our realities on untruths that lead us astray. Rich and Susan emphasise the importance of aligning one's beliefs with truth to foster healing and restore trust.
They explore the idea that God's laws are designed for harmony, and breaking these laws leads to chaos both in personal lives and the world at large. They discuss how free will comes with the responsibility to make choices that align with divine principles, cautioning against the societal tendency to blame others for personal failures. Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their own lives, recognising that healing begins with acknowledging personal responsibility and allowing divine guidance to transform their hearts.
With a mix of humour, candid reflections, and spiritual insights, this episode is a thoughtful exploration of trust, choice, and the path to recovery. If you're seeking a fresh perspective on addiction recovery that intertwines spirituality with practical advice, this episode offers a unique take. Rich and Susan's journey from addiction to freedom provides hope and encouragement for anyone looking to mend broken trust and embrace a healthier, more fulfilling life.
