"Giving rather than getting is the guiding principle."
Relationships – they're more than just the people you talk to at the pub or text on a Saturday night. Rev. Jon R. tackles this very topic in the latest episode of Ashes To Rubies: Addiction To Connection. He explores the intricacies of relationships and how they can mirror your spiritual journey. With a touch of humour and a sprinkle of personal anecdotes, Jon dives into what makes relationships tick, and how boundaries play a crucial role in maintaining them.
You'll hear about his own experiences, like his childhood adventures with Grandpa PercyRuby – a man who could cook up a storm and even made wine on the side during WWII. These stories aren't just for laughs; they serve as a reminder that relationships often revolve around what we can get from them. Jon reflects on how his youthful antics were more about the rewards he received than the genuine connection he shared.
But this episode isn't just about reminiscing; it's about finding the balance between giving and taking in relationships. Jon shares how his recovery journey has led him to redefine his relationships, focusing on a new attitude and a deeper connection with God. This transformation is all about shifting from consumption to contribution – being fruitful rather than consumeful. Jon challenges you to consider your own relationships: Are they healthy? Are they reflective of your spiritual condition?
By examining these aspects, you might find yourself rethinking your approach to relationships and perhaps even your relationship with God. So, why listen? Because this episode offers not just tales of doughnuts and arcade games but a chance to reflect on what truly matters in your connections with others and with yourself. Dive into this engaging exploration of relationships and discover how they can be a reflection of your spiritual journey.
