Episode notes
Phone Call That Saved A Marriage
- Matt told how his wife threatened to leave after 11 years of on-and-off addiction, which prompted him to call a friend for help the next day.
- That phone call got him out of hiding and started his long journey to freedom and a restored marriage.
Work Hard, Don't Try To Earn Grace
- Do pursue recovery work but stop treating grace as earning; believe God's completed work first and act from that belief.
- Put effort into practices while rejecting the mindset that you must earn freedom through performance.
Freedom Is A Person Not A Feeling
- Freedom is anchored in a person, not a transient feeling, and that person is Jesus.
- Learn to live from the reality of that identity rather than chasing an emotional experience of freedom.
