Tom Powers' Great Experiment: Finding God with Father Bill W.
“It's like your life depends on you being honest and that the extent that you're being honest is the extent that you're forming a relationship with God himself, and along with it, which you can't see in advance because it always looks to be the opposite, is you're comforted, comforted by it, right, you know, you really start to get peace.”
Ever wondered if it's possible to truly find God, especially when you're at your lowest? In this episode, Father Bill W. and Matt D. take you on a spiritual adventure inspired by Tom Powers' book, 'Invitation to a Great Experiment'. Tom's perspective is that extreme desperation can actually be a favorable starting point for a spiritual journey. It’s a paradox that resonates deeply with the principles of the 12 Step Program.
Father Bill and Matt dive into these paradoxes, discussing the importance of honesty, hard work, and an open mind when embarking on this path. They also touch on the often-overlooked 11th Step practice of Two Way Prayer, which has been a cornerstone in Father Bill's own recovery since 1972. Whether you're new to recovery or have been on this journey for years, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice on how to find peace within.
Tune in for an inspiring discussion that blends personal anecdotes with timeless spiritual wisdom.
