In this episode, brothers Brian and Matt Silver discuss Gerald May's book, Addiction and Grace. May redefines addiction as a universal human struggle rooted in attachments to things, people, or behaviors—not just substances. He argues that this "addiction" is a spiritual problem that displaces our innate desire for God. True healing, May suggests, comes not from willpower alone but from surrendering to divine grace and embracing contemplative practices.
Each episode, we discuss a different book. Brian, with eight years as Lead Pastor at Hope Community Church in St. Paul, MN, provides thoughtful theological insights. His older brother, Matt, has many questions about God, the Bible, mysticism, and theology. Expect candid conversations ranging from Matt's personal recovery journey to their shared experiences as preacher's kids.
