12 Step Wisdom as a Spiritual Path - with Karl Thienes
Episode description
The 12 Steps have been called the greatest American contribution to spirituality today. Today we’re going to talk about how the 12 Steps can contribute to your spiritual growth, even if you would not consider yourself an addict.
Karl Thienes is a published poet, 7 years sober, former blogger, father of 4, and amateur theologian. He is passionate about transformation, healing, and being a Christ follower.
Today he will share a bit of his story of going from a drunk catechist in the Orthodox church (drinking vodka on his way to teach about asceticism!) to a man who can find joy in the day to day.
