Can a Christian Love God and Still Struggle With Addiction?

What does it mean when someone genuinely loves God but still struggles with addiction?In this episode, I talk honestly about something I think many Christians misunderstand. Too often, addiction gets reduced to “just stop” or “you just need more faith,” but the reality is often far more complicated.Drawing from my own experience with addiction, I talk about faith, brain chemistry, shame, obedience, withdrawal, repentance, and what it looks like to keep fighting for freedom through Christ even when the battle feels overwhelming.We wrestle with difficult questions like: Does ongoing struggle mean weak faith? Is addiction only a choice? What is the difference between struggle and rebellion? And what does biblical obedience look like when freedom does not happen overnight?If you have ever wondered why the battle still feels hard even when you genuinely love God, this conversation is for you.
