Rev. Leo Booth on Redefining Spirituality: Lessons from Pelagius and Rumi
“The good news is we have the power to make ourselves happy, to get clean and to become sober, and I can't tell you how many people I've heard who are sober say I have done nothing for my sobriety.”
Feeling like your old beliefs about a Higher Power just don't cut it anymore? This episode of 'Spirit of Recovery' might be what you need. Hosts Rev. Dan Beckett and Rev. Michelle Vargas sit down with Rev. Leo Booth, a Unity minister and internationally acclaimed author, to shake up traditional views on spirituality. Drawing inspiration from Pelagius, a fourth-century monk, and Rumi, a 13th-century Sufi poet, Rev. Booth offers seven fresh spiritual insights aimed at healing religious codependency.
Through their lively discussion, they challenge conventional notions of God and grace, exploring how these ancient teachings can lead to a more intimate and joyful relationship with Spirit. Rev. Booth emphasizes the importance of self-responsibility in achieving happiness and freedom in recovery. As he puts it, 'The good news is we have the power to make ourselves happy, to get clean and to become sober'.
If you're curious about how to deepen your spiritual journey while navigating recovery, this episode is packed with wisdom and practical advice.
