In this episode, I sit down with Stephen Cervantes, AKA "Doctor Marriage," to explore the journey of awakening from addiction. Together, we discuss how addiction numbs pain and stunts emotional and spiritual growth, and why facing our pain—rather than running from it—is key to healing.
Stephen shares personal insights about slowing down, self-reflection, and finding freedom in Christ. If you’re fighting an addiction, we encourage you to embrace courage, seek support, and trust God’s grace as you move from darkness and disconnection into light, connection, and true emotional freedom.
