Faith Over Addiction | Biblical Idenity and Boundaries for Loving Someone with Addiction

In this powerful and deeply personal episode of Faith Over Addiction, host Tanya Gioia sits down with Debra Mcninch, founder of the Battlecry Prayer Movement, to unpack a story that echoes in the hearts of countless Christian women—especially mothers walking through the heartbreak of prodigal children, identity struggles, or addiction in their families.

Debbie vulnerably shares the moment her "Malibu Barbie Dream House" life was rocked by her child’s unexpected revelation—and how that moment became the catalyst for a bold and prayerful journey. She invites us into her spiritual battle, revealing how love goes to war on its knees and how God’s truth can transform even the most devastating moments.

If you're in the messy middle—confused, heartbroken, and clinging to hope—this episode is a reminder: you are not alone, and God is still writing the story.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• What happened when Debbie’s eldest child came out as transgender—and how God met her there
• How the Battlecry Movement was born out of heartbreak and fierce, Spirit-led love
• Why the Church must break its silence around prodigals and identity crises
• How to release control and trust God’s timeline for your loved one’s transformation
• A practical 5-step Battle Plan to intercede with hope and boldness
• How to identify your “mat carriers”—the ones who’ll carry you to Jesus when you can’t walk

In this powerful and deeply personal episode of Faith Over Addiction, host Tanya Gioia sits down with Alicia and Damian Bloss — a couple who has faced the pain of addiction, mental health struggles, and broken trust, yet chose to walk the road of healing together.

This isn’t just a story about addiction. It’s a story about what happens when two people decide to stop hiding and start healing — individually and as a couple. From Alicia’s raw honesty about anxiety, OCD, and the invisible weight she carried for years, to Damian’s emotional reckoning with trauma, guilt, and a rock-bottom moment that led to divine intervention, every part of their journey offers truth, hope, and grace.

You’ll hear how:

• An accidental phone call to a pastor became the turning point in Damian’s life.
• Alicia found her voice, her healing, and her own sobriety.
• Together, they learned that real recovery starts with doing the inner work — not fixing the other person.
• Their shared work now includes leading the Breaking Silence support group and speaking hope into communities walking similar roads.

Whether you're navigating a loved one’s addiction, struggling with your own mental health, or trying to rebuild trust after years of pain, this conversation will meet you where you are—with compassion, wisdom, and the reminder that you’re not alone.

🔑 Key Themes:

• The connection between trauma, addiction, and healing
• Mental health and identity beyond shame
• Choosing sobriety — separately and together
• Why individual healing matters before couples counseling
• The power of prayer, surrender, and second chances

🎧 Tune in now to be reminded that no matter how broken the past, God’s redemptive work is never finished—and healing is possible, even in the mess.

In this powerful episode of Faith Over Addiction, host Tanya Gioia sits down with David Ask—speaker, entrepreneur, resilience coach, and author of the upcoming book Guardians of Grit: Raising Uncrushable Young People. Together, they dive into the heart of resilience, identity, and intentional encouragement in both parenting and personal growth.

David shares how exhaustion often stems from chasing someone else’s purpose rather than discovering the unique who God created in each of us. He introduces the transformative practice of “introducing people to themselves”—calling out strengths and virtues in your spouse, children, and even colleagues—to foster confidence, emotional security, and lifelong resilience.

You'll learn practical ways to “set the temperature” in your home through leadership, conviction, and kindness, and how to raise strong, grounded kids who stand firm in their faith and identity. This conversation is packed with biblical wisdom, actionable strategies, and heartfelt encouragement for parents, spouses, and leaders seeking to build a faith-filled, emotionally secure home.

Are you caught in the chaos of addiction, constantly cleaning up emotional, spiritual, and physical messes that aren't yours? Welcome to Faith Over Addiction, where faith meets real life. Hosted by Family Recovery Coach Tanya Gioia, this podcast is designed to offer Christian women hope, healing, and practical tools to navigate the challenges of loving someone with addiction.

Through biblical truths, heartfelt stories, and actionable guidance, you’ll learn how to set healthy boundaries, find peace in the mess, and reclaim your God-given identity. You don’t have to carry what was never meant to be yours. It’s time to shift from “this is happening to me” to “this is happening for me,” and let God transform the chaos into something that glorifies Him.

Every week, I’m here to encourage you, offer clarity, and remind you that as a daughter of the King, You Always Have Other Options (YAHOO). Together, we’ll embrace faith as the foundation, boundaries as the bridge to healing, and God’s truth as the ultimate guide to freedom, strength, and grace.

Blessings,

Tanya Gioia 🌸
