E12: The Role of "God" in AA

Send a text

There is nothing more divisive to the newcomer than the role of "God" in in AA.  Is AA a cult?  I had someone reach out to me who said their General Practitioner said they were.  Will you be forced to kneel as soon as you walk in and give yourself to Christ?  I never had to.  I asked John I and Steve C to join me to tell their perspective on a "Higher Power."  Both have very different views and something I hope you can identify with.

If God or a Higher Power has made you hesitate to go to your first 12 step meeting, this is the show for you.  We could do 20 shows on this and never scratch the surface.
