'Grace is goodness towards those that only deserve punishment', - Wayne Grudem
In this episode of the Relational Recovery Podcast, hosts Wes Thompson and Austin Hill tackle the concept of grace, its significance, and its transformative power in the context of addiction recovery. They start with a light-hearted chat about their preference for different seasons before diving into the deeper subject of grace. Grace, a term often heard in Christian circles, is defined by theologian Wayne Grudem as 'goodness towards those that only deserve punishment'.
This episode explores how this radical idea can be a game-changer for those struggling with unwanted behaviours and addiction. Wes and Austin discuss how grace challenges the common belief that good things happen to good people and bad things happen to bad people. They argue that addiction is far more complex than just a series of bad choices, and grace offers a way to approach recovery with compassion and understanding.
The hosts share personal reflections and theological insights, making this episode both relatable and enlightening. They highlight the hypocrisy in seeking grace for ourselves while demanding justice for others, emphasising that true grace keeps us level-headed and empathetic. The episode also includes a reading from Ephesians 2:8-10, underscoring the idea that grace is a gift from God, not something earned by our actions.
If you're looking for a fresh perspective on recovery and the role of grace, this episode is a must-listen. You'll walk away with a deeper understanding of how grace can positively impact your journey towards healing.
