"God doesn't remodel addiction. He replaces it."
How do people find strength in their journey to sobriety? This episode of Studio RC with Pastor Max Ingram is all about slowing down during the busy holiday season to embrace renewal and reflection. As the Advent series kicks off, listeners are encouraged to pause and notice the ordinary, sacred, and unseen moments in life.
Pastor Max brings a humorous touch with his Hawaiian Christmas shirt, reminding us that Advent isn't about preparing the perfect Christmas but clearing space for renewal. Through biblical scriptures and personal anecdotes, he emphasises the importance of surrendering to God and letting go of the wreckage of our past to make room for something new. Renewal, as Pastor Max shares, is messy and uncomfortable, but it's a vital part of recovery and spiritual growth.
He uses metaphors like clearing out a cluttered basement to illustrate how renewal requires us to discard what holds us back. This episode invites listeners to reflect on their own journey, asking questions about where they need God to begin anew and what emotional or spiritual clutter needs clearing. As you listen, you'll find hope in the idea that awakening opens up the possibility of change, transforming your past into your greatest asset through God's redemption.
So, let your shoulders droop, take a slow breath, and be present in this moment of wonder and renewal.
