Episode Overview
- Faith can transform perceived weaknesses into strengths.
- Addiction is not a disadvantage but a path to spiritual growth.
- All humans are equal before God, regardless of their struggles.
- Faith is a divine gift, not a product of human willpower.
- Self-pity is a major barrier in overcoming addiction.
"One of the main ingredients of the addictive mind is self-pity."
What does it mean to find wholeness even when we feel like we're falling short? Colin Cook tackles this profound question in his latest episode of 'How it Happens'. Drawing from the rich text of Romans 3:23-24, Colin shares how the Gospel of Christ can be a powerful tool for overcoming addiction.
He emphasises that everyone, regardless of their struggles, is equal in the eyes of God and that addiction can paradoxically be an advantage because it brings us to our knees, leading us to seek divine mercy. Colin challenges the notion that faith is a result of human willpower, suggesting instead that it is a gift from God. He encourages those battling addictions to shift their perspective and see their struggles not as disadvantages but as opportunities for spiritual growth.
This episode offers a fresh take on addiction, urging listeners to embrace their challenges and use them as a stepping stone to find strength in faith. Colin's insights are both comforting and challenging, making this episode a must-listen for anyone grappling with addiction or seeking a deeper understanding of faith. As you listen, you'll be invited to reconsider your own beliefs about struggle and redemption. Is it possible that your greatest weakness could be your greatest strength?
This episode will leave you pondering the role of faith in your own journey to recovery.
