When you define it as a sin problem of the heart, as a worship disorder of the heart, Jesus Christ is the solution, and that only comes when we personally confess our sin, repent of wrongdoing and cry out to Jesus for forgiveness, and place our faith in Christ Alone, nothing else for eternal life.
Ever wondered how faith can play a role in overcoming addiction? This episode of 'The Addiction Connection Podcast' dives deep into that question. Hosted by Dr. Mark E. Shaw, CJ McMurry, and Jim Quigley, the podcast offers a refreshing perspective on addiction recovery. Dr. Shaw introduces The Addiction Connection's Unity Statement, which frames addiction as a heart issue rooted in sin, rather than just a disease.
He argues that the ultimate solution lies in the Gospel, offering grace-filled, truth-saturated care and counsel to those struggling with addiction. Throughout the episode, Dr. Shaw and his co-hosts discuss the importance of personal accountability, self-reflection, and seeking help from a supportive church community. They challenge the conventional view of addiction as a disease, advocating instead for spiritual healing and transformation. This episode is particularly compelling for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting a loved one on their recovery journey.
Listeners will find a blend of scriptural encouragement and practical advice, making it clear that faith can be a powerful tool in the battle against addiction. If you're looking for an approach that combines spirituality with actionable steps for recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
