Episode notes
Join Joe McDonald as he explores Step 2 AA from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, focusing on the transformative power of willingness to believe. Joe highlights the cornerstone of recovery, emphasizing that simply being willing to believe in a higher power sets the foundation for a wonderfully effective spiritual structure.
Joe explains, “As soon as a man can say that he does believe or is willing to believe, we emphatically assure him that he’s on his way. Why can we be so emphatic? Because we’ve seen it hundreds of times. It’s been repeatedly proven among us that upon this simple cornerstone a wonderfully effective spiritual structure can be built. What is that cornerstone? A willingness to believe. If you’re willing to believe there is a power, that’s it. That’s the cornerstone. Everything else you’ll build from here on.”
