In this powerful episode, Jared is joined by pastor and best-selling author Tony Portell for an honest conversation about healing from brokenness, overcoming trauma, and finding freedom from addiction. Together, we unpack how unresolved pain often fuels destructive patterns and why true healing requires more than simply managing behavior—it requires transformation from the inside out. We also dive into the psychological and spiritual impact of the “fight or flight” response and how living in survival mode can keep people trapped in cycles of addiction, shame, isolation, and emotional exhaustion. Tony shares practical wisdom, biblical encouragement, and personal insight on how confronting trauma, surrendering control, and allowing God into our wounds can lead to lasting healing and hope.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in your past, overwhelmed by shame, or exhausted from fighting the same battles, this episode offers encouragement, clarity, and a reminder that brokenness does not have to define your future.
