How do people find strength in their journey to sobriety? In this engaging episode of Relational Recovery, hosts Wes Thompson and Austin Hill tackle the profound question of purpose and how addiction can steal it away. They chat about the significance of purpose in recovery, especially through the lens of Christian spirituality. With their blend of humour and sincerity, Wes and Austin explore how understanding one's purpose can provide direction and motivation, even when life's challenges seem insurmountable.
They dive into personal stories and biblical references, reflecting on how purpose is tied to a greater divine plan. The duo discuss how society's focus on 'doing' can overshadow the importance of 'being'—being loved, being in relationships, and being true to oneself. They share their own experiences of grappling with purpose and the role of faith in finding it. The conversation also touches on how addictions can hijack our attention and desires, leading us away from love and purpose.
Wes and Austin remind us that recovery is about renewing not just the mind, but the body and spirit too. They encourage listeners to embrace love, both divine and communal, as a pathway to healing. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a heartfelt reminder that purpose is not just about what we do, but who we are and how we love. So, what's your purpose?
And how can you use it to guide your path to recovery?
