What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? Colin Cook takes us on a fascinating journey through the teachings of Romans Chapter 1, exploring how faith can help intercept addictions, be it alcohol, drugs, or other vices. He paints a vivid picture of humanity's tendency to replace God with idols and how this leads to emptiness and darkness.
The episode intricately links biblical passages with the modern struggle against addiction, showing how God's grace and mercy can guide us back to a fulfilling life. Cook emphasises that God's way of getting our attention is not through abandonment but through engagement, giving us the freedom to choose our paths while gently steering us towards redemption. With references to both Paul and Ezekiel, he illustrates how these ancient texts remain relevant in understanding human behaviour today.
