How do people cope with the challenges of staying sober? Colin Cook's latest episode of 'How it Happens' dives into the profound teachings of Romans 13 and 14, exploring how faith can intercept addiction. Colin passionately discusses how the arrival of Jesus reshapes our priorities, urging listeners to be the light in a world that often feels dark and confused.
With a touch of humour, he breaks down the concept of 'flesh', emphasising that it's not about denying physical desires but understanding them in a spiritual context. The episode takes a closer look at the idea that addiction can stem from a misunderstanding of faith, leading to religious neuroticism rather than genuine freedom.
Colin highlights the importance of recognising Jesus as our righteousness, which liberates us from guilt and shame, allowing us to open our hearts to others and serve humanity without fear. As the episode progresses, Colin introduces Romans Chapter 14, a chapter often overlooked but filled with surprising truths about Christianity. He challenges the audience to focus on the core of Christian faith rather than trivial doctrines that can divide believers.
Colin's heartfelt discussion is both engaging and enlightening, providing listeners with a fresh perspective on addiction recovery through spiritual growth. Are you ready to explore how faith can transform your journey to sobriety?
