Experience the emotional and inspiring tales of recovery as Colin Cook unpacks the intriguing concept of faith battling the mind in addiction recovery. In this episode, Colin explores how the Gospel of Christ offers a unique perspective on intercepting addiction, whether it's alcohol, drugs, or other compulsive behaviours. He challenges listeners to consider the power of faith over the mind, emphasising that the mind, part of our fallen nature, often lies about our worth and ability to overcome addiction.
Colin delves into biblical narratives, like Jacob's wrestling with God, to illustrate how faith can be a powerful tool in the fight against self-doubt and negative self-talk. He stresses that faith is not passive but an active engagement with God, urging individuals to argue with God in a way that strengthens their resolve and understanding of divine grace.
Listeners are encouraged to reflect on how their faith can contradict their mind's lies and embrace the peace that comes from knowing they are justified and loved by God. Colin's message is one of hope and reassurance, reminding us that even in our struggles, God is for us, and our faith can indeed be our greatest ally.
This episode is a call to reframe our battles with addiction as spiritual exercises that draw us closer to divine truth and inner peace. Are you ready to let your faith lead the charge against the lies your mind tells you?
