Recovery and the church
Recovery and the church is a broad topic, however, we will discuss and examine:
1. How the church has not embraced "addiction recovery" and why it has (and still tends to be) been in denial.
2. The stigma projected on recovering people in the church and what barriers this creates.
3. Why mental health is avoided by church people and what needs to change.
4. The Biblical and theological foundations of recovery in the church and why it needs to be the main approach to speaking to people and their needs.
Overall, this topic will open your eyes to how there has been a disconnect between the church and recovery and to examine what steps are needed to take to normalize and streamline recovery ministry in the church.
