    #382 - Why "Recovery" Isn't Enough for Transformation | Dr. Mark E. Shaw

    0:00 Intro 2:00 Mark E. Shaw 9:00 End/Final Thoughts Is the ultimate goal just to get "clean and sober," or is there something far superior? In this episode of The Addiction Connection Podcast, Dr. Mark E. Shaw breaks down why Christians should view September as "National Transformation Month" rather than National Recovery Month. He explores the profound differences between working a secular recovery program and the biblical process of progressive sanctification. Discover why addiction is fundamentally a belief problem, why pulpits need to preach sanctification alongside salvation, and how the synergistic work of the Holy Spirit and the believer leads to true, lasting transformation.
