The Minor League: Introducing Faith

The Minor League: Introducing Faith

How do people find strength in their journey to sobriety? This chat between teen host Savannah Robinson and her dad, addiction counsellor Blu Robinson, looks at one surprisingly powerful tool: faith. Savannah, just 14 and already leading the "Minor League" spin-off of Addict II Athlete, talks with Blu about how faith isn’t only about religion. They describe it as "believing in something that you can't see," whether that’s a goal, your own abilities, or a higher power.

Blu drops the line that shapes their whole conversation: "Fear and faith are the exact same thing with very different results." Across funny stories about Halloween 2020, public speaking nerves, spiders in the house, and even fast‑food drive‑through panic, they show how everyday moments can either feed fear or build faith.

Parents in recovery will relate to Blu’s point that kids copy what they see: if adults model courage and calm in hard times—like job loss or money worries—children learn to trust that "we're always going to be fine." Savannah brings a strong teenage voice, sharing how faith shows up in volleyball, school tests, friendships, and church. She’s honest about peers feeling pressured by religion and explains why choice matters more than force.

For her, faith has grown because her parents treated church as "an opportunity, not you have to," and regularly point out "faith-building" moments rather than saving them for Sundays. They also talk about prayer as simple, honest communication—whether someone names God, the universe, or just the energy around them—and how stopping that habit can quietly erode belief.

If you're raising kids while staying sober, or you’re a young person trying to make sense of spirituality, this gentle, funny, and very real conversation might help you ask: where in your life are you feeding fear, and where could you start feeding faith instead?
