Faith and Recovery: Holiday Reflections with Jed from Church & Other Drugs
“I think the biggest, one of the biggest changes came to me when, when I realized, like the lack of biblical evidence for an actual, uh, eternal place of fire, that you're tortured forever and ever, like the god that loves you, torches you forever.”
The holiday season often brings up big questions about faith, recovery, and what it means to heal. In this special episode of 'Recovery in the Middle Ages', hosts Mike and Nat are joined by Jed from the podcast 'Church & Other Drugs'.

Together, they tackle thought-provoking topics like the role of God in recovery, the differences between spirituality and religion, and how these concepts play out in real life. If you’ve ever pondered where faith fits into your recovery journey or how to reconcile spiritual beliefs with addiction, this episode offers a lot to chew on. Jed’s personal anecdotes about his struggles and triumphs provide a raw, honest look at the complexities of addiction and faith.
Mike and Nat also discuss the unique challenges of maintaining sobriety during the holiday season—a time that can be particularly tough for those in recovery. Their candid conversation is both enlightening and comforting, making it a must-listen for anyone grappling with similar issues. So, grab a cup of tea, find a cozy spot, and tune in to this heartwarming holiday special.
