"Wonder is what happens when God breaks into our ordinary lives and does something we could never do for ourselves."
In a world that often feels rushed and chaotic, Pastor Max Ingram invites listeners to slow down and embrace the wonder of the Advent season in the latest episode of Studio RC. This time of year, often associated with Christmas cheer, is redefined through the lens of recovery and faith. Pastor Max, an alcoholic in recovery, shares his journey of sobriety and faith, encouraging others to find awe in the everyday miracles around them.
This episode, part of a four-week Advent series, focuses on 'wonder'—a concept deeper than festive nostalgia. It's about recognising moments where grace intervenes in our ordinary lives. Max shares personal anecdotes, like a friend's encounter with the law after a recovery meeting, to illustrate that grace isn't about entitlement; it's a gift that comes unearned. Listeners are reminded that wonder isn't just for children; it's a vital perspective for adults in recovery.
By seeing life through this lens, we reconnect with the goodness of God and the joy of sobriety. Pastor Max encourages his audience to share their stories, as doing so not only multiplies wonder but also provides hope to others who may feel overlooked. As the episode unfolds, Max draws from scripture, highlighting how even the most unexpected individuals, like shepherds in the Christmas story, were chosen to witness divine wonders.
This serves as a reminder that everyone, regardless of their past or present struggles, is worthy of experiencing and sharing wonder. So, as you navigate your own path to recovery or simply seek to find more meaning this season, consider what wonders you might be overlooking. How can you slow down to notice them? And who might benefit from hearing your story? Let this episode inspire you to embrace gratitude and share your light with the world.
