#118 - Drug Education and Stigma, Part 1 (Quigley and Dr. Shaw)
from The Addiction Connection Podcast · host theaddictionconnection
Human Wisdom vs. Spirit Wisdom – 1 Corinthians 2:13 And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual. The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. [1] Mark talks with Jim Quigley in-studio about common phrases in the addiction world, and the world's attempts to counter what they see as "stigma." Jim leads Freedom Farm Ministries in Boone, NC as a Commissioned Addictions Biblical Counselor with The Addiction Connection, serving on TAC's board. Jim begins the discussion by teaching a biblical opposition to the world's view that biology is causative in their addiction. This world believes that each person is a "good person" who wants to self-correct if given the opportunity. But the Gospel says otherwise. Read TAC's blogpost for more on what Jesus has to say about addiction and alcoholism. It has been estimated that over 80,000 people have died from overdoses since 2020. The victim mentality is being taught in over 90% of the programs in the world. Jim warns all listeners who are genuinely biblical in their approach to addiction to beware not to mischaracterize those who are trying to help in the secular system as not being compassionate or genuine in their desire to help people. Our message is different because we point people to the transformational heart change done by Jesus Christ working by the power of the Holy Spirit.
