In this episode, we delve into a powerful story of overcoming adversity and finding hope in unexpected places. Tullian shares a deeply personal journey following a very public fall. After hitting rock bottom, he found himself on stage at a conference, surrounded by familiar faces and engaging in discussions about weighty theological topics.
Despite appearances, he was struggling internally. Grappling with the aftermath of a painful divorce, shattered relationships, and a damaged reputation, he was not in a good place. Feeling overwhelmed by guilt, shame, and a profound sense of loss, he reached a breaking point, longing for someone to offer a glimmer of hope.
It was during this tumultuous time that he found solace and connection within the recovery community. Despite not having struggled with substance abuse personally, he discovered a kinship with others who were on their own paths to healing. Recognizing that everyone faces battles and burdens, he embraced a new sense of belonging and purpose.
Throughout the conversation, Tullian emphasizes the importance of understanding that recovery is not limited to one type of addiction. We all grapple with hardships, insecurities, and unhealthy coping mechanisms. By acknowledging our shared humanity and embracing vulnerability, we can find strength in community and move towards a more healthy future.
Join us as we explore themes of resilience, redemption, and the transformative power of community in the face of adversity. This episode offers valuable insights and encouragement for anyone navigating their own journey of awareness and healing.To learn more about the Sex, God, & Chaos team, click the link below:
