Rediscovering Wholeness: Bishop John Shelby Spong's Take on Spiritual Recovery

If we get the church to begin to give the message of hope and wholeness instead of the message of guilt and judgment, so that you've got to repent of your sins before you're welcomed into the church, I think you ought to be welcomed, no matter who you are, no matter what you've done.
What does it mean to truly recover and reclaim a sense of wholeness? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Spirit of Recovery', hosts Rev. Dan Beckett and Rev. Michelle Vargas sit down with Bishop John Shelby Spong, a renowned author and former Episcopal bishop, to explore this profound question. Bishop Spong, known for his forward-thinking views, offers a fresh perspective on how spirituality can enrich the recovery journey.
He emphasizes the importance of integrity, love, and equality in fostering a sense of spiritual wholeness. Through his unique lens, he reinterprets traditional stories like the prodigal son, shedding light on the transformative power of grace. This episode is packed with insights on breaking free from shame and judgment, and recognizing the ever-present joy and expansiveness in life. It's a must-listen for anyone navigating the 12-step path or seeking to deepen their spiritual practice.
