The biblical story of the Gerasene demoniac offers a powerful lens through which to understand modern addiction. This ancient narrative reveals how isolation, the futility of willpower, and the loss of identity are hallmarks of being captive to destructive forces. 

In this message, our guest Blaine Bartel shares his own 23-year struggle with addiction, drawing parallels to the demoniac's experience and highlighting the profound impact of secrecy.

Discover how Jesus confronts these strongholds, not by waiting for us to clean up our mess, but by meeting us in our brokenness. This message explores the path to true freedom and resurrection, offering hope for anyone seeking to break free from what controls them.
