How can faith in Christ help us overcome the darkest moments in our lives? Join me for an honest and vulnerable conversation with my dear friends, Ben and Lindsey Eenigenburg, as they share their journey of overcoming alcohol addiction. Ben opens up about his personal battle with alcoholism, anxiety, and hiding while Lindsey offers her perspective as a wounded wife struggling with anger and resentment. We discuss the impact of addiction on their marriage, the journey to forgiveness, and the importance of seeking help and opening up about one's struggles. Through their testimonies, we explore the role that prayer and faith played in both Ben and Lindsey's journey to recovery and reconciliation. Their honest conversation serves as a testament to the power of Jesus to sustain and rescue us, even in our darkest moments. 
 So, whether you are personally struggling with addiction or know someone who is, I hope that this conversation offers hope, encouragement, and a reminder that in Christ we are overcomers.

Overcoming Alcoholism

The Overcomers podcast is stories of men and women who have endured unimaginable hardships—have clung to Jesus during the dark night of the soul, yet their faith has remained intact and often more vibrant than before.Most of these stories are not clean and do not have a neat bow at the end. Many are still in the middle of battling to believe Jesus is better, come what may.

In this episode, I want to orient our thinking around how we're going to experience the Black Horse and its Rider. Because if we're going to overcome the Black Horse, then we need to understand how the rider and the horse affect us and those around us. This conversation isn't meant to be an intellectual exercise; it's a realistic look at the black rider's impact on our faith and walk with Christ.This episode is an invitation to understand the deeper spiritual dynamics at play and to rekindle a faith that seeks sustenance in the true bread of life. My prayer is that through this series you will discover and be reminded of the hope and courage available to overcome life's challenges through the finished work of Christ.

Bonus Episode: More Powerful Than You Believe

Could the book of Revelation be more comforting than confounding, more hopeful than horrifying? On this episode, I’m tackling some of the most common questions asked about the book of Revelation. From overcoming anxiety around the book, to the rapture, to the end times — I walk through what the book says and doesn’t say. I hope to dispel some of the mystery and offer a hopeful vision for the believer. This is not just about end times; it's a heartening portrayal of the eternal fulfillment that believers can look forward to; a future that is far more about promise than apocalyptic dread. My prayer is that through this series you will discover and be reminded of the hope and courage available to overcome life's challenges through the finished work of Christ.

Common Questions about the Book of Revelation

We've been walking through the four horsemen of the apocalypse, and if you'll remember, the first horse is a white horse and its rider has a white robe and a crown. It looks like Jesus, but it's not Jesus. And so I said in Episode 1 that this rider is like an antichrist. It comes presenting itself as a gospel but it's no gospel at all. And one of the ways this plays itself out is outside the church is false gospels — this will save you or this will make your life complete, But inside the church it looks like heresy. It takes some aspect of what's true about God and it twists it. My friend Russ Roberts, trying to find his way out of a markedly rebellious lifestyle, found himself entwined in the alluring yet misleading doctrines of the International Church of Christ. His experience serves as an example of the perils that lurk within seemingly pious communities, where the truth of Jesus Christ's message can be obscured by well-crafted imitations. It’s a journey marked by small, deliberate steps of obedience, much like Peter’s, filled with inevitable stumbles yet propelled forward by the redeeming power of Christ's love. My prayer is that through this series you will discover and be reminded of the hope and courage available to overcome life's challenges through the finished work of Christ.

Overcoming False Gospels with Russell Roberts

On this episode, we will examine the red horse and its rider from Revelation 6 — an emblem of war and rage. It seems like everywhere we look there is war happening. But it's not just global conflicts that I want to examine; I want to turn the lens inward. I want to draw your attention to the reality that these bloody conflicts and war is never far from our souls. There is a violence that that can bubble up in us at any moment if we're not careful. The enemy of the end-times want to divide and sow conflict and I want to challenge you to fight for a Church that wields the spiritual armor of meekness and kindness in a world all too familiar with violence and rage. My prayer is that through this series you will discover and be reminded of the hope and courage available to overcome life's challenges through the finished work of Christ.
