What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? In this episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook', the conversation takes a deep dive into the concept of faith-training in the Gospel of Christ as a tool for overcoming addiction. Whether it's alcohol, drugs, food, or obsessive worry, this episode offers an intriguing perspective on how faith can intercept these struggles.
Colin Cook discusses the controversial idea that atheism is a form of self-deception, exploring the biblical viewpoint from Romans Chapter 1. He argues that God's wrath is not about anger, but rather a form of divine love meant to guide us away from self-destructive paths. Colin challenges the common perceptions of God, suggesting that many view Him as either all-powerful or personal, but rarely both. This duality, he claims, is crucial for understanding our accountability to a higher power.
The episode invites listeners to reflect on their own beliefs and how they might be suppressing an intrinsic knowledge of God. With a mix of theological insight and practical advice, Colin addresses the misconceptions surrounding atheism and faith. He urges listeners not to engage in fruitless debates with atheists but to understand their position as a moral stance rather than a scientific one.
The episode wraps up by highlighting the importance of recognising God’s true character as revealed through Jesus Christ, offering hope and guidance for those on their recovery journey. This episode is not just for those struggling with addiction but for anyone interested in the intersection of faith and personal growth. It’s a thought-provoking listen that will leave you questioning your own beliefs and the role they play in your life.
