If someone you love is struggling with addiction, you already know how exhausting, confusing, and heartbreaking it can be. You want to help — but how do you know when helping becomes hurting?

In this episode of Reframed, Pastor Dan Jarms and Biblical Counselor Brian Sayers walk through a practical survival guide for caregivers, family members, and friends of addicts. They unpack what codependency and enabling actually look like, how to intervene in a way that's honest and loving, and why building your own support team isn't optional — it's essential.

Real love does what is best, not always what feels best.

In this episode:

• What codependency is and how to recognize it in yourself
• The difference between enabling and truly helping
• How to intervene — and what the Bible says about the process
• Why forgiveness and trust aren't the same thing
• How to build a team and survive the long road

Is addiction a disease you're stuck with forever or is real change actually possible? Pastor Dan Jarms and biblical counselor Brian Sayers challenge the narrative that you're defined by your addiction, unpacking what the science actually says about the disease model, why the Bible's language of slavery and bondage is more honest and more hopeful than you might expect, and what the gospel offers that no rehab program or recovery group can. If you or someone you love is caught in a cycle that feels impossible to break, this episode is for you.

In this episode:

• Why the "disease model" of addiction is more complicated than you've been told
• What the Bible actually says about addiction (and why the names matter)
• The gospel as real power for real change not just forgiveness
• The "hurts and hungers" driving addictive behavior
• Practical steps for restructuring your life toward freedom
