Roots of Addiction: Food

This week on MercyTalk we continue our discussion on the roots of addiction and the many ways that we meet healthy needs with unhealthy addictions. Today our hosts, Melanie and Jen, with special guest, Brooke, will discuss the need for comfort and how we can try to meet that need with an addiction to food. Food addiction is a serious issue in our culture and has impacted obesity rates as well as overall national health. As with any addiction, freedom is possible. Join us as we discuss:

  • What food addiction is and how it attempts to meet our need for comfort
  • What the ramifications of this struggle are on a natural and spiritual level
  • How shame plays into the cycle of food addiction and how that cycle can be broken
  • Ways to overcome addiction to food from a Biblical perspective
  • Have a comment or question? Email MercyTalk.
