Don't expect anything good from your human nature.
How do individuals turn their lives around after addiction? This episode takes a closer look at the concept of human nature and its role in addiction, as explained through biblical teachings. Colin Cook discusses how suppressing God leads to a void in our souls, pushing us toward addictions like alcohol, drugs, or even work. By interpreting Romans 1:18-20, Colin unpacks the idea that our human nature is inherently flawed, often leading us to seek comfort in harmful habits.
The conversation touches on the story of Adam and Eve, illustrating how misinterpretations and denial of truth can lead to guilt and shame. But don't worry, it's not all doom and gloom! Colin offers a ray of hope by explaining how faith in Jesus Christ can open our hearts and reverse this suppression. Faith, he argues, is the antidote to the darkness that comes from pushing God away.
With a mix of scripture, personal anecdotes, and practical advice, this episode is both enlightening and encouraging for anyone battling addiction. So, are you ready to challenge your human nature and embrace faith as a path to recovery?
