Father Bill W. takes you on a spiritual journey through the depths of Thomas R. Kelly’s 'A Testament of Devotion' in this episode. As an Episcopal priest and a long-time member of Alcoholics Anonymous, Father Bill brings a unique perspective to the table. He reflects on Kelly's second chapter, 'Holy Obedience', and explores the themes of defiance and obedience, especially as they relate to the struggles faced by alcoholics and addicts.
Through a series of poignant quotes and personal anecdotes, Father Bill highlights the importance of aligning oneself with the 'Great Reality' within. He draws parallels between Kelly's mystical experiences and the teachings of AA, emphasising that true sobriety is more than just abstinence—it's about finding love, meaning, and purpose in life. The episode is rich with reflections on how spiritual practices can help individuals overcome their inflated egos and find peace.
Father Bill's engaging storytelling and deep understanding of both AA history and spiritual practices make this episode a must-listen for anyone seeking a deeper connection with their inner self. So, are you ready to explore the divine within and see how it can transform your journey to sobriety?
