Faith and Addiction

from Becoming Human with Dr. Josh Williams Hosted by Dr. Josh Williams

Can Christianity create addiction? In this deeply personal first episode, Dr. Josh Williams explores how shame, fear, and disconnection—especially around sexuality—can create the very conditions in which addictive behavior thrives. Drawing from his own struggle with pornography, OCD, purity culture, and the counseling experience that changed how he understood himself, Josh examines why simply trying harder, praying more, or suppressing our needs may not bring healing—and why genuine connection might.
