Faith's Blueprint: Building Character from Within with Rev. Robert Wilson
Remember what Christ said, what God said to Christ. With this measure of faith, we are able to be partakers of the divine nature. Our faith, first and foremost, is an inside job.
Ever wondered what truly shapes your character? In this episode of the Care In Counseling Podcast, Rev. Robert Wilson, a seasoned Clinical Psychotherapist, dives deep into the essence of faith and its role in personal growth. Drawing from the Bible, particularly 2 Peter, Wilson unpacks the idea that faith is more than just belief—it's a transformative force that molds our inner selves. He emphasizes that faith should spark internal character development rather than merely external changes.
Wilson passionately explains how everyone who comes to Christ receives a 'deposit of faith', enabling them to embody God's nature. This faith-driven character development includes virtues like self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness, and love. And guess what? There's no such thing as too much character development! But it's not just about biblical teachings. Wilson also draws inspiration from historical figures like Gandhi, who demonstrated immense self-discipline and became a symbol of suffering for a greater cause.
By aligning our lives with God's principles and seeking His kingdom, Wilson believes that everything we need will naturally follow. This episode isn't just for the devout; it's for anyone seeking to understand how faith can be a cornerstone for building a better life. Whether you're grappling with addiction, anxiety, or just looking for a deeper sense of purpose, Rev. Wilson offers a roadmap to inner transformation through faith.
