Rev. Ward Ewing on Finding a Personal Higher Power in AA
“For me, the most important thing in the fellowship is rigorous honesty. It is life-giving, not to have to try to be what people expect.”
Ever wondered how working with Alcoholics Anonymous could change someone's life, even if they aren't an alcoholic? In this episode of AA Grapevine's Podcast, Rev. Ward Ewing, a Class A Trustee Emeritus, shares his unique journey. He opens up about how his involvement with AA reshaped not only his ministry but also his personal outlook on life. Ewing discusses the importance of rigorous honesty within the fellowship and how it has been life-changing for him and others.
He prefers the concept of 'God of our experience' over 'God of our understanding', allowing members to connect with a higher power that feels deeply personal and meaningful. This episode isn't just about spirituality; it's about finding a sense of self and community through honesty and acceptance. Don and Sam also lighten the mood with their 'Ask it Basket' segment, where listeners send in questions and jokes.
If you're curious about how AA can transform lives in unexpected ways, this episode is a must-listen.
