God Is Ohhh So Close

This series addresses what some of us in recovery refer to as “the God problem.” Does God exist? Does God really care about us humans – and maybe more honestly and specifically, does God care about me and mine?

People have been asking these questions for as long as we’ve been on this earth but for us “real” alcoholics and addicts whose lives depend on finding a spiritual solution to our addiction death sentence, it’s more than a matter of speculation.

In this episode Bill and Fr. James explore the next two chapters of John Caputo’s book What to Believe? The chapters focus on the roles of mysticism and Jesus within radical theology.
