Episode Overview
- Changing lifestyle is an action that starts with belief systems
- Recovery requires embracing a spiritual awakening and letting go of distorted beliefs
- Transformation involves seeking support, visualising change, and embracing a new vision
- Recovery journey entails perseverance, never giving up, and trusting in God's guidance
- Embracing change requires telling on oneself, seeking support, and leaning on God's power
Never give up on you. Because God has been giving up on you. So if you're connected to God, he'll give you the strength to persevere. You can do it. Get yourself a vision. Get yourself a support group. Get yourself some faith. Stop trying to lean on your own understanding. Lean on God's power. He likes helping us crazy people lose weight. He likes to help us get our money right. God, he loves doing stuff like this but we don't go to him until next time.
