Gain insights from experts and survivors on how faith can transform addiction into a journey of healing. In this episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook', the discussion centres around the biblical concept that 'whatever is not from faith is sin'. Colin Cook shares his personal journey from legalism to understanding the Gospel's true message of grace and redemption.
He explores how faith in Christ can liberate individuals from the shackles of guilt and shame associated with various addictions, including alcohol, drugs, and even food. Cook uses his own experiences to illustrate how a shift in mindset—from a legalistic approach to one of faith—can change the way we perceive sin and righteousness.
He emphasises that sin is more about the attitude of the heart rather than mere actions, highlighting that faith provides a peace of heart that legalism never could. The episode also touches on practical scenarios, like how to act with compassion without being overwhelmed by guilt or indecision. Whether it's dealing with sexual addiction or everyday temptations like overeating, Cook argues that faith allows for a more balanced and less judgmental approach.
Listeners are invited to reflect on their own struggles and consider how a faith-based perspective might offer them new avenues for growth and freedom. If you're grappling with addiction or simply seeking a more profound understanding of faith, this episode offers both encouragement and practical advice. So, what role does faith play in your journey towards recovery? Could embracing a gospel-centred approach be the key to finding peace and freedom?
