We don't simply operate on behavior, on what we must do and not do. We are free to renounce guilt and shame and fear, to praise god that we are declared righteous in christ, even though we're not righteous in ourselves. That state of mind of guilt, shame and fear is what drags us down back into those old behaviors.
Imagine finding a way to tackle addiction that doesn't just focus on willpower but taps into something deeper. In this episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook', Colin dives into how faith-training in the Gospel of Christ can help intercept addictions, whether they involve alcohol, drugs, food, sex, or even obsessive worry. Drawing from the teachings of Paul in Romans chapter 8, Colin discusses the transformative power of being led by the spirit.
He emphasizes that it's not just about changing behavior but embracing a state of mind where guilt, shame, and fear no longer hold sway. Instead, listeners are encouraged to find freedom in the knowledge that they are declared righteous in Christ. This episode also touches on the concept of spiritual adoption into God's family, offering a path to break free from old habits and embrace a new identity.
It's a blend of spiritual guidance and practical advice, making it a must-listen for anyone seeking a holistic approach to recovery.
