There are dozens of different addictions. Some are as obvious as opioids. Others are as private as pornography. Those addictions are multi-dimensional. Addiction is biological, psychological, and neurochemical. Addiction is emotional, relational, and spiritual. But no matter what addiction you struggle with, God can set your free. You are NOT your addiction. You are who God says you are. There are no shortcuts. There are no cheat cuts. But a single step of faith can turn into a giant leap toward mental health, emotional health, and spiritual health. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

As followers of Christ, we should be more known for what we’re FOR than what we’re AGAINST. We can’t just count the ACTUAL COST. We’ve got to consider the OPPORTUNITY COST. You can do nothing WRONG and still do nothing RIGHT. Goodness is not the absence of badness! That is a glass half empty gospel, and God has called us to so much more than that.
