Solving the problem our way leads to sin & death, solving it God’s way (repentance and recovery) leads to life.
Stress is often the unseen force driving many into the arms of addiction. In this episode of 'On the Battlefield', Fr. Joseph Collins and Fr. Michael Marcantoni tackle this hidden culprit head-on. They break down the four major stress triggers: uncertainty, isolation, loss of control, and conflict, showing how these can pave the way to addiction. Drawing from medical data, they highlight how stress rewires the brain, making the struggle with addiction feel insurmountable at times.
But there’s a twist - they bring a refreshing perspective rooted in Orthodox spirituality. By recognizing the divine image in each person, they offer a beacon of hope. The hosts argue that while our methods often lead to despair, turning to repentance and recovery opens the door to life. They emphasize the need for community support, physical activity, and a daring trust in God.
The episode wraps up with a poignant reminder: the Christian journey isn’t about avoiding pain or stress but finding grace amidst it. Tune in for an enlightening discussion that blends science, faith, and practical advice for anyone grappling with addiction.
