In this episode of the Engage and Equip podcast, Pastor Nic and Jill explore addiction from a Christian theological perspective. They discuss how Jesus's healing approach offers a framework for understanding addiction through biblical concepts: infirmity (weakness), slavery (compulsive control), and idolatry (false salvation). The conversation highlights how the cross creates both moral accountability and freedom from shame, challenging the notion that professional help is always necessary. They discuss that while clinical psychology has value, Christian community can address many psychological needs through compassionate listening and spiritual wisdom. Join us as we explore a holistic approach to healing that balances accountability with compassion in addressing addiction.

Engage & Equip is a resource designed to help form substantive disciples for the local church.
