"Voluntarily submit to any and all changes God wants to make in my life."
Ever wondered how to voluntarily submit to change and embrace a new way of living? In this episode of the Mess It Up Podcast, the Bow Tie Guy and his guest Bev dive into the fifth principle of Celebrate Recovery. This principle is all about voluntarily submitting to any changes God wants to make in your life and humbly asking Him to remove your character defects.
It's a journey that might sound daunting, but the duo breaks it down with humour and insight, making it feel less like a lecture and more like a friendly chat over a cuppa. Bev shares her 20 years of recovery experience, offering practical advice on how to encourage others to join recovery groups. It's not about dragging them along; it's about inviting them to walk with you.
The conversation touches on the power of voluntary submission—doing it because you want to, not because you have to. It's like choosing to go on a diet because you want to feel healthier, not because someone is forcing you. They also discuss the importance of recognising and letting go of character defects. These are often the things that have caused pain and driven us into recovery in the first place.
But letting go isn't easy, especially when these defects feel like a part of who we are. Bev and the Bow Tie Guy talk about the role of trust and choice in this process, likening it to Indiana Jones stepping off a cliff, trusting that something will catch him. The episode wraps up with a reminder that while change can be slow and sometimes scary, it's also an opportunity for growth and transformation. So why not give it a listen?
You might find that it's just the nudge you need to take that next step in your recovery journey.
