The Intersection of Spirituality, Psychology and Theology

With the Intersection we strive to bring together the three disciplines of spirituality, psychology and theology in an applicable fashion, as it relates to addiction, codependency, trauma, grief, loss, abuse and domestic violence. Our goal is to share our experience, strength and hope in Christ in a way that can frame up your journeys and studies along the path of recovery. We all can benefit from the 12 Steps through the whole of our lives. It is a common misconception that only those trapped in addiction can benefit, but the biblical principals that drive each of the steps can be applied to so much more. We all have something we need to recover from, we all need the Lord's help and His touch upon our lives. Join us in our journey from addiction to recovery; from loneliness to comfort in solitude; selfishness to selflessness; from chaos to peace; ultimately from death to life.

Step 1 of Life Recovery

May 13, 2021 • The Family Afterward Resource Center • Season 1 • Episode 1

Regarding step one, there is a commonality between Addiction, Codependency and Trauma, and it resides in our inability to control people, places and things which to some degree cause powerlessness and unmanageability in all of us.

· One aspect of the insanity with addiction/codependency and trauma is the need for control.

· We attempt to control our feelings with substances, relationships and activities.

· We try to control other people or organizations by threatening or manipulating.

· How have you seen this urge to control show up in your life?

Part of recovering from addictions/codependency and trauma is becoming a servant for God instead of assuming the position of God.

· What do you do when it looks like the situation is out of control?

· Do you do anything to keep a disaster from happening?

· Do you feel like you are the only one who can keep everything from falling apart?

· What triggers you into becoming a controlling person?

· Have you seen times when a total disaster turned out to be a good thing?

· How has God helped you to trust Him? How can you tell when you’re taking charge of a situation in a healthy way, a way that trusts that God is in charge?

Join us in this examination of the start of our journey from addiction to recovery, from chaos to peace, from death to life.
