Ever wondered what it takes to break free from the shackles of addiction and find true purpose? Bishop Lance Johnson takes you on a raw and honest journey through his own battles with addiction and the pitfalls of institutionalised religion. With a refreshing candour, he shares how his life was transformed not by chasing after visions or prophecies, but by a profound relationship with God.
Lance discusses the subtle idolatry that many fall into, fashioning gods out of religion and reason rather than seeking the truth of Christ. He reflects on his past mistakes, where he prioritised church growth over genuine spiritual well-being, leading to emotional spirals and burnout. But this isn't just a story of regret; it's one of hope and redemption. Lance urges listeners to centre their lives around serving Jesus, not a self-created deity that caters to personal desires.
