Finding God in Recovery | Ep 49

from The David Magee Show · host That Sounds Fun Network

For a long time, I thought willpower was enough. I believed I could muscle my way through change, keep faith on a shelf, and pull it down later if I needed it. What I learned — slowly and painfully — is that stopping a behavior and finding recovery are not the same thing. Kent and I talk about ego, vulnerability, the spiritual path that so many people in recovery eventually walk, and why growth begins when we admit we can’t do this alone. It’s an honest conversation for anyone asking hard questions about healing, faith, and what truly sustains us.
