"Service, like sobriety, is not a theory. It's something we have to live out."
What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? Pastor Max Ingram tackles this question head-on in the latest episode of Studio RC. Kicking off the 'One Story at a Time' series, Max explores how Jesus' parables resonate deeply with those on the path of recovery. This episode focuses on the story of The Good Samaritan, a tale that challenges us to consider what it means to truly serve others.
Max draws parallels between this ancient story and the modern journey of sobriety, connecting the parable's themes to the 12 steps and the wisdom found in recovery literature. Max doesn't just retell the parable; he invites us to think about how its lessons apply to our own lives. Are we willing to be the 'Good Samaritan' in our communities, offering help even when it's inconvenient?
Max reminds us that service, much like sobriety, isn't just a theory but a practice that requires action. The episode encourages listeners to step out of their comfort zones and embrace 'inconvenient love'—a love that gets its hands dirty and crosses boundaries. Through his engaging storytelling, Max offers both theological insights and practical advice, making this episode a must-listen for anyone on their recovery journey.
Whether you're just starting out or you're a seasoned veteran of sobriety, there's something here for you. So grab a notebook, take a deep breath, and dive into this powerful discussion about faith, recovery, and the transformative power of service. What does being a 'Good Samaritan' mean to you in your journey of recovery? Perhaps it's time to find out.
