The God Journey

Addiction or Connection? (667)


Listen Later

Sin will take you further than you want to go, make you stay longer than you want to stay, and cost you more than you ever imagined. A recent article in the NY Times outlined the process of opioid addiction and why so many people find themselves and why they overdose trying to get free of it. Brad and Wayne found it an eye-opening article not only to stir compassion for those so captive but also found interesting parallels between drug abuse and the power of sin to rewire our brains for bondage. They also talk about how a growing relationship with God can rewire our brain to break our addictions and how real connection breaks the power of addictive behavior.
