128. Messy Addiction: What Are We Trying to Escape? | Jon Seidl

Welcome to the Warrior Words podcast!

Welcome to Episode 128 of the Warrior Words podcast!

Looking at our society today, if we are honest, we will admit that addictions are everywhere. There are so many different types: drugs, alcohol, shopping, food, scrolling, binging anything, etc.

But what's the root of all of them?

Are we, perhaps, trying to escape something by not dealing with it? Are we trying to avoid a situation by numbing our minds with one of these many addictions?

Are we trying to escape a relationship with Jesus? Afraid He'll find a crack in the foundation that we need to repair?

What if a few simple - NOT easy - steps could repair the foundation, update the house, and make right your relationship with Jesus so that you can start living the life He wants you to live?

Join my guest, Jon, and me as we talk about his addiction to alcohol - one that started while he was living as an active Christian.

Listen as he shares what happened, the steps he took, and what his life looks like today.

Then check out Confessions of a Christian Alcoholic for a deeper dive and thorough explanations of how he went from a messy addiction to a Gideon moment.

You do not have to have an addiction to alcohol to enjoy this conversation...
