In this episode, I sit down with my sponsor, Brandon Lasker, to explore recovery, spirituality, and his journey from addiction to faith.

Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or Soundcloud

This conversation moves through 12 step application, meditation, Sufi practices, existential destabilization, mystical experiences, and ultimately Brandon’s unexpected encounter with Christianity. We explore surrender, higher power, grace, and what it really means to “turn our will and our life over.”

If you’re in recovery, questioning faith, wrestling with spiritual experiences, or trying to understand how addiction and spirituality intersect, this episode may be helpful.

Topics Include:

Early sobriety and failed attempts at quitting.

The Twelve Step process and sponsorship.

Spiritual ego and chasing mystical highs.

Meditation, Sufi practices, and mystical states.

Existential panic and destabilization.

Christianity and personal encounter.

Grace, surrender, and transformation.

The difference between feeling good and living satisfied.
