Colin Cook takes you on a spiritual journey in this episode of 'How it Happens', exploring the profound connection between faith and mental health through the lens of Romans 9:30-32. He tackles the concept of the soul's conversation with God, highlighting how prayer isn't just about asking for help but about acknowledging one's presence before the divine. Cook discusses how addiction can isolate the soul, creating a barrier between oneself and God, leading to feelings of guilt and shame.
But fear not – faith offers a way to reconnect and understand oneself truly. Cook uses the Psalms as a guide, suggesting that they teach us how to talk to God, not just about our needs but about the beauty of existence itself. He urges you to break free from the tendency of the mind to shut God out, encouraging faith as a means to counteract those isolating thoughts.
With a mix of scripture and personal reflection, Cook provides a comforting message that you are not alone in your struggles – God is there, ready to listen and love unconditionally. The episode isn't just for those battling addiction; it's for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of their spiritual journey. Cook's approach is warm and empathetic, making complex theological ideas accessible and relatable.
He reminds you that being a Christian isn't about perfection but about faith – faith that Jesus has already taken care of your sins. So why should you tune in? Because this conversation might just be the key to finding peace and solace in your soul's dialogue with God.
