The real power is god. So if we want to turn that over to god, we should do so without looking over our shoulder.
What if ancient wisdom could offer fresh perspectives on sobriety? In this episode, Jim K, who has been sober since 1980, takes us on a fascinating journey through 'The Sermon On The Mount', a book by Emmet Fox that early AA members cherished before the Big Book came along. Recorded at WACYPAA15 in Las Vegas back in 2012, this workshop is packed with Jim's personal stories and practical advice.
He talks about the power of scientific prayer, the importance of staying open-minded, and why changing from the inside out is crucial for lasting recovery. Jim doesn’t just stick to theory; he shares his own ups and downs, like getting laid off multiple times but learning to trust that things will work out. He emphasizes that real power comes from a higher source and encourages everyone to read beyond just conference-approved books.
There’s even a Q&A session towards the end where Jim tackles some tough questions from the audience. This episode is perfect for anyone curious about how 'The Sermon On The Mount' can enrich their AA journey. Jim's relatable approach and deep insights make it a must-listen for both newcomers and seasoned members of AA.
