Curious about how others navigate their sobriety journey? Colin Cook's latest episode of 'How it Happens' offers a fresh perspective on faith and self-exclusion. Colin delves into the paradox of self-exclusion, explaining how people often feel they are not worthy of God's love due to guilt and shame. He argues that it's not God who excludes us, but rather we exclude ourselves from His grace.
