In this episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook', the host tackles the tricky subject of righteousness and addiction through a unique blend of faith and psychology. If you've ever felt the tug-of-war between your faith and your struggles with addiction, Colin's insights might just be what you need. He delves into Romans 9:30-32, a passage that highlights the paradox of righteousness attained through faith rather than works.
Colin explains how this concept can be a game-changer for those battling addictions like alcohol, drugs, or even food and sex. The episode sheds light on the internal conflict many Christians face – the pressure to be righteous and the guilt when they fall short. But here's the twist: Colin argues that righteousness isn't something you earn through sheer willpower or dedication. Instead, it's a gift received through faith, credited to us by Christ. Imagine that!
He encourages listeners to shift their mindset from anxious prayers begging for strength to prayers of praise that acknowledge our righteousness in Christ. This approach not only alleviates the burden of guilt but also transforms the way we respond to failure. Colin's message is clear: it's not about trying harder; it's about believing more deeply.
So, if you're tired of feeling like you're on a hamster wheel of self-improvement, this episode offers a refreshing perspective that could change your spiritual journey forever.
