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.

Keep Your Motives Pure.

· Making amends is not about forgiveness, believing that Jesus died on the cross for our sins is how we receive forgiveness.

· Making amends is not about getting things off your chest, that’s what the 4th and 5th Steps are for.

· Making amends are centered on repairing the damage you’ve caused in other people’s lives.

· Making amends requires a great deal of courage due to facing those we have wronged.

· Placing our focus on the well-being of others helps to reduce the shame associated with our wrongdoing.

Making amends involves willingness and constructive action to make things right with those we have harmed. Like Zacchaeus, we should demonstrate surrender to all that Jesus Christ has done for us. This is a giant step forward in clearing the wreckage of the past. By making amends we will have a much greater degree of closure and consequently move towards serving God and our fellows in a much more significant way.
