Humanity has somehow succeeded in convincing itself that it can live without God.
In this episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook', Colin dives into the complexities of Romans chapters 1 and 11, exploring how faith-training in the Gospel of Christ can help intercept various forms of addiction, from alcohol to obsessive worry. Colin unpacks Paul's teachings, explaining how humanity's suppression of God has led to a spiritual void often filled with idolatry.
He suggests that our quest for fulfilment through material things or harmful behaviours is an attempt to replace divine connection. The episode also touches on the idea that God allows people to experience the consequences of their choices, not out of abandonment, but as a way to guide them back to Him.
Colin uses relatable metaphors and anecdotes to make these deep theological concepts accessible, arguing that while we may feel imprisoned by our addictions and struggles, there is hope and freedom in faith. He reassures that despite feeling trapped in a fallen world, Jesus acts as a loving warden who will ultimately free us.
If you're grappling with addiction or searching for spiritual clarity, this episode offers profound reflections and practical insights to help you understand yourself and your faith journey better.
