In the latest episode of Sacred Sobriety: A Path for the Soul, this devotional, “Believing Makes a Difference,” discusses the power of faith for those on the journey of sobriety. Part of the ongoing The Crucified Life: Daily Reflections for Christians in Recovery series, this devotional message unpacks 1 Peter 1:8-9 (NASB1995), where Peter reminds us that believing in Jesus, even without seeing Him, fills us with “joy inexpressible and full of glory,” leading to the salvation of our souls.

Through expository preaching and inductive scripture study, we explore how faith anchors you in trials, replaces shame with hope, and becomes a daily choice in recovery. Drawing on scriptures like Hebrews 11:6, Romans 15:13, and Psalm 34:8, this message offers practical insights and reflective questions to help you weave faith into your sobriety journey. Key takeaways include starting each day with prayer, connecting with a recovery community, and trusting your God-given conscience to guide your choices.

A.W. Tozer’s profound questions— “What do you think of Christ? What are you going to do with Christ?”—challenge us to make faith active, while Saint Augustine’s words remind us that the reward of faith is seeing what we believe. Whether you’re battling addiction or seeking spiritual renewal, this devotional offers hope, encouragement, and actionable steps to live out your faith.
