Finding Peace with God: Addressing Anger and Addiction through Faith
“You need to feel the freedom to express your anger, your hurt or your pain. This will be very foreign to you, because that is precisely what you could not do with your earthly father.”
Feeling angry at the thought of God as your Father? You're not alone. In this episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook', Colin delves into the challenging emotions that arise when the concept of a heavenly Father clashes with our experiences of earthly fathers. For many, calling God 'Abba Father' can feel uncomfortable, especially if past relationships with their own fathers were strained or hurtful.
Colin encourages listeners to express their anger, pain, and frustration to God, offering a path to healing those deep-seated wounds. He emphasizes that this journey isn't a quick fix; it may take years, but it's a crucial step towards finding peace and overcoming addiction. Through faith-training in the Gospel of Christ, Colin shows how embracing this spiritual relationship can help intercept addictive behaviors and foster a sense of belonging in God's family.
This episode is perfect for anyone struggling with the idea of a loving heavenly Father and seeking a transformative approach to recovery.
