Balancing Power and Powerlessness: Spiritual Insights in Recovery

The truth is, if it wasn't for religion, they probably wouldn't have figured out AA, because it was a religious group that gave them the idea of divine principles and six steps.
Ever wondered how feeling powerless can actually lead to discovering your true inner strength? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Spirit of Recovery', hosts Rev. Dan Beckett and Rev. Michelle Vargas welcome Rev. Dennis to unpack the intriguing paradox of powerlessness and power in the journey of recovery. They dive into Step 1 of the 12 Steps, exploring how acknowledging our powerlessness can help us connect with our inner spiritual Twelve Powers. Rev.
Dennis shares his personal experiences and wisdom on how spiritual grounding can transform our lives, making them more meaningful and fulfilling. The conversation doesn't stop there; they also touch on the importance of being a good listener, embracing our brokenness, and being a healing presence in the world. For those curious about the role of religion in recovery, this episode offers an enlightening discussion on the Trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit from both Eastern and Western perspectives.
As Rev. Dennis puts it, 'If it wasn't for religion, they probably wouldn't have figured out AA, because it was a religious group that gave them the idea of divine principles and six steps'. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, this episode provides valuable insights and hope.
