Love Better

Reconnected: A conversation with Steve Wilkes about addiction


Listen Later

One of my goals with this podcast is to introduce an audience I love to people I love.  I’d like you to meet Steve Wilkes.  Steve Wilkes is a husband, father, Christian, and drug and alcohol counselor.  Steve and I talked about addiction in its many forms through a biblical lens.

For those listening with children’s ears nearby, we never talk about anything in a graphic way, but the words ‘pornography’ and ‘suicide’ do show up a couple of times.

We talk about chemical dependency, behavioral addictions, and Steve’s own road to restoration with the Lord.  It turns out that recovery from addiction is more than just a body issue – it’s a soul issue, too.  I believe this issue is worthy of our time and attention because, as always, the Bible has answers.  Whether you are battling addiction yourself, struggling with the impact of a loved one’s addiction, or simply want to learn how to be better prepared to love your neighbor as yourself –Steve provides practical tools to combat the idol of addiction.

If you would like further information about recovery from drug addiction or substance abuse recovery, feel free to contact me at [email protected], and I will happily connect you with Steve.
