June 17, 2025 057 | Attacking Spiritual Bybass
Ben and Roane discuss the concept of "spiritual bypass," a phenomenon where individuals use religious or spiritual language to avoid dealing with their emotional pain. They highlight how this practice is prevalent in faith communities and can be harmful, leading to a lack of accountability and genuine growth. Examples include phrases like "God's gonna use this" and "When God closes a door, he opens a window." They emphasize the importance of addressing trauma, emotional sobriety, and the need for empathy and real love. The conversation aims to challenge the spiritual bypass culture and promote genuine spiritual growth and transformation. To learn more about the Sex, God, & Chaos team, click the link below:

Roane discusses the pervasive issue of pornography addiction with Ted Shimer, founder of the Freedom Fight.

They discuss the importance of emotional awareness, identity in Christ, and community support for lasting freedom. To learn more about the Sex, God, & Chaos team, click the link below:
