Episode notes

Join Joe McDonald as he delves into Step 2 AA from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, focusing on the concept of developing a conscious relation with God. Joe clarifies the difference between a “God of my understanding” and “God as we understood Him,” emphasizing the significance of being aware of a higher power within us that is not of us.

Joe explains, “People over the years have started talking about a God of my understanding. They didn’t say that. They said God as we understood Him and qualified it with conscious relation, which means I’m aware that there is a power in me that is not of me and is growing and changing my life.”

This session encourages viewers to reflect on their own experiences and make a conscious decision to engage with this transformative power, accepting things that once seemed out of reach.
