"Where am I running the show? Where am I selfish, self-centred?"
Rev. Jon R. takes centre stage in this episode, sharing his thoughts on the concept of 'The Bottom Line' in addiction recovery. With a knack for weaving business analogies into spiritual discussions, Jon invites listeners to consider what drives their daily actions and choices. He uses the business term 'bottom line' to highlight the importance of understanding the costs—both emotional and spiritual—that come with running one's own life without divine guidance.
Jon shares his personal journey from chaos to clarity, emphasising the need to surrender control and let God take the wheel. Through humorous anecdotes and candid reflections, he challenges listeners to identify where they might be playing God in their own lives, relying on things other than faith for comfort and security. Jon discusses the significance of inventory in the recovery process, likening it to assessing the costs in a business.
This inventory isn't about numbers but rather an examination of one's behaviours and fears that might lead to relapse. By recognising these patterns, individuals can begin to abandon self-reliance and embrace a higher power's guidance. The episode offers a heartfelt exploration of the struggle between self-will and divine will, encouraging listeners to pause and reflect on their daily actions.
Jon's engaging style makes complex spiritual concepts accessible, as he shares how he manages to maintain neutrality and avoid the pitfalls of self-centredness. Whether you're new to recovery or have been on this journey for years, Jon's insights provide a fresh perspective on the importance of letting go and trusting in something greater. So, if you're pondering your own 'bottom line' in life, this episode might just be the wake-up call you need.
