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 11 of Life Recovery

June 21, 2021 • The Family Afterward Resource Center

Is your understanding of Christ a ritualistic and rutty experience, or are you engaging yourself with the Living God? Religiosity could be defined as making a way to God entirely through human effort. A life run on self-propulsion is destined to fail, while one that is Holy Spirit driven is certain to lead us to the promises of God! To characterize this struggle of right relationship with God, we can look at two acronyms that will help you to remember the vital tenets of the faith and what to watch out for. The CATS and DOGS acronym can help us to remember this vital life lesson.

Relationship

· Confession- We admit our powerlessness to God in prayer.

· Adoration- We respond with loving communication to God.

· Thanksgiving- We are grateful for all that he has done and going to do in our lives.

· Supplication- We communicate our obedience to Gods will for our lives.

Religiosity

· Dogmatic- Implies being emphatic about the rules.

· Ostentatious- Is the quality of seeking attention toward yourself.

· Grandiosity- Inflates your self-importance.

· Self-serving- Creates a strong disposition for idolatry, mainly you!

We all have the choice to serve Christ daily or to run on self-propulsion and be isolated from Christ and the Holy Spirit. The choice is always ours to make.
