What are the common struggles and victories in addiction recovery? In this episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook,' listeners are taken on a journey through the intersections of faith, atheism, and addiction recovery. Colin Cook passionately discusses how faith in the Gospel of Christ can be a transformative force against addiction, whether it be alcohol, drugs, or even obsessive worry.
The episode tackles the concept of atheism not as an intellectual standpoint but as a state of suppression of truth, as described in Romans 1:18-20. Colin emphasises that all humans are inherently in a state of willful unbelief, which is why faith is necessary to open up to a compassionate and merciful God. Colin's message is not one of judgment but understanding, encouraging listeners to reflect on their own spiritual journeys.
He explores how our human nature, inherited from Adam, is flawed and incapable of salvation without divine intervention. Through biblical stories and personal reflections, Colin illustrates how atheism and faith intersect in the battle against addiction. Listeners are encouraged to embrace faith with the simplicity of a child, recognising the beauty and joy in God's creation.
The episode is a call to action for those struggling with addiction to seek a deeper understanding of their spiritual selves and find solace in faith. It's a profound reminder that in the midst of life's challenges, there is hope and healing available through belief. So, how do you find strength in your journey to sobriety? Reflect on this episode's themes and see how faith might play a role in your own recovery.
