Tony Evans teaches that addiction is more than a bad habit—it’s a spiritual stronghold that can only be broken through God’s power. True freedom comes not from willpower alone, but from surrendering control to Jesus Christ and allowing His authority to rule every area of life.

Addictions often grow when there’s an inner emptiness. Dr. Evans explains that only God can fill that void. When we replace unhealthy patterns with God’s truth, prayer, and obedience, the grip of addiction begins to loosen.

Jaggy and Tedi quietly model an important truth: when they feel safe, loved, and cared for, they don’t search elsewhere for comfort. In the same way, when we rest in God’s presence and trust His care, the need to escape or numb ourselves begins to fade.

Key takeaway:
Lasting freedom comes from surrendering to God, walking in His authority, and filling our lives with His presence instead of substitutes.
