James 4: 7-10 gives us a roadmap and two very important promises.

Listen in to find out how to fight the devil and how to win the battle of temptation.

Do you want to be free of your addiction? I sure did.

Today I tell the story of Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, who Jesus heals in Mark 10: 46-52.

What can we learn from this story being healed? Does it hold the secret to freedom from addiction? I believe it does.

Listen in.

Do you have a drinking problem? Or a problem with any substance or behavior? I asked myself this question years ago and found a quiz to help me find out.

Today I talk about my responses and what happened next. Did answering YES to every question get me to stop drinking? Or did I ignore all the warning signs and bury my head in the sand? Listen in and find out.

If you need help, reach out. There are so many people and organizations available. I know how hard it is to do that. I lived it. Don't let shame or fear keep you stuck in addiction. You don't need to keep living in bondage. You can and will recover. You just need to take the first step.

 I hope today's episode will offer some insight, encouragement and hope. Drop me a note at [email protected] and let me know if it did.

I'm praying for each person who listens to this episode. May God meet you where you are and lead you to freedom.

When life is hard and the road seems endless, it can be hard to believe that God is working on our behalf or that He has plans for us that are good and happy. But He is and He does. He tells us so in Isaiah 43, and if God says it, we can believe it.

Listen in as I talk about Isaiah, Joseph, Rahab, Saul and how God changed their lives. He loves to take broken people and make them new. He will do the same for you. Let's talk about how.

Are you a prodigal? A lost sheep? I was. I still am in so many ways.

Join me today as I talk about the parable of the Prodigal Son and three big takeaways for our sobriety.

God longs to have us come home. Our hearts want us to come home.  Listen in to the story that both breaks my heart and makes it full of joy at the same time.

Even the wisest man to ever live knew that drinking alcohol was bad and that sobriety was good. He lays it out very clearly in Proverbs 23. 

Addiction sneaks up on us and ruins our lives. Listen in as I talk about how my life has completely changed, how I went from a tiny world revolving around a harmful substance to a life full of possibilities. And you can too.

You don't have to live life stuck on the hamster wheel of addiction. You can get off and get to living. It's time.

Ready to get swept up in a tale of triumph, temptation, and resilience? Today I explore the story of King David's life - his fall from grace with the temptation of Bathsheba, his desperate attempts to cover up his sins, and ultimately the heavy consequences of his actions. 

But the story doesn't end there. We also delve into how King David, despite his failings, chose humility and repentance. He sought restoration and found redemption, and therein lies his true legacy. 

Failure is a part of our human experience, but this story underlines that it's our response to failure that truly defines us. Are we going to let our missteps derail us? Or are we going to use them as stepping stones towards growth and recovery? In King David's tale, we learn the power of genuine repentance and the importance of moving forward, regardless of our past. So tune in, and let's weave through this engaging narrative together, finding our own path to resilience and redemption, learning how to deal with the temptations that will come our way and what to do if we stumble.

Today, I'm talking about our greatest enemy in recovery, how we battle it, and why I refuse to call myself an addict. 

I've been walking the path of sobriety for several years now, but I understand the ever-present dangers that are always just one bad decision away. 

Verses today:
1 Peter 5: 8-9
John 10: 10-15
John 10: 3
Matthew 4: 10-11
2 Chronicles 16: 9

We are never alone in this fight. God is always with us, and through Jesus, we find protection.

I hope you'll listen in for some practical advice on withstanding the enemy and some personal reflection on our identity as a Child of God.

Do you ever feel like you're stuck in the pit of despair, with addiction holding you captive and no hope of escaping? You're not alone. I did too.

Today I share Psalm 40. These verses were my hope when I was stuck in the mire of bondage and the despair-filled early days, assuring me that even in our darkest moments, God hears our cries and is ready to rescue.

Even in the face of despair, God's love shines the brightest. He's always ready to help and heal. We just need to reach out. Listen in.
