Episode notes
Join Joe McDonald as he dives into the importance of maintaining a fit spiritual condition in Steps 10 & 11 of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. Joe addresses the common struggles of slipping into old habits and how quickly we can fall “asleep” spiritually when faced with daily disturbances.
“And I’ll show you how. Does it make sense? All right. So that’s how we react so long as we keep in a fit spiritual condition. So if I’m not reacting correctly, what does that mean? There’s something the matter with my spiritual condition. That’s not a condemnation. It means I went back to sleep. I go back to sleep many times a day. Anytime I’m disturbed by whatever you’re doing or saying, I have gone into slumber because what you’re doing and saying has nothing to do with what I’m here to do for the one I serve. Does that make sense?”
