The god that I worship is not limited by time, space or matter. If I could fit the infinite god in my three-pound brain, he would not be worth worshiping.
Ever thought about how sorrow could be a stepping stone to a better life? This episode of 'Relational Recovery' delves into that very idea. The hosts take a deep dive into II Corinthians, Chapter 7, verses 8-13, and unpack the concept of 'godly sorrow'. They explain how this type of sorrow, when combined with genuine repentance, can spark a profound transformation.
It's not about feeling bad for the sake of it, but about using those feelings as fuel for positive change. The discussion bridges Christian spirituality with psychological insights, showing how these two worlds can work together in the science of behavior change. The hosts also touch on some big philosophical questions about God's nature. They argue that God's influence extends beyond the physical universe, impacting our emotions and thoughts.
Love, jealousy, rationality—these are all seen as evidence of God's hand in our lives. They even tackle a listener's question about God's origin, explaining that God exists outside time, space, and matter. This episode offers a rich blend of spiritual and scientific perspectives, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in the deeper aspects of recovery.
So if you're curious about how your faith can guide you through tough times or if you're looking for a fresh perspective on your journey to sobriety, this episode has something for you. Tune in to explore how godly sorrow can be a catalyst for transformation and how understanding God's unbounded nature can bring you closer to healing.
